Jackson County clerk waiting for direction from Attorney General on same sex marriage

The United States Supreme Court ruled same sex marriage bans unconstitutional today in a 5-4 vote. Like some surrounding counties, the Jackson County Clerk is not yet issuing marriage licenses to same sex couples. 

   A sign hangs on the door of the County Clerk's office that reads "At this time, we are hearing that the Surpeme Court has ruled in favor of same sex marriage. Nothing official has yet been sent to our office or our legal counsel. Our office will continue to operate as it has been until we are directed to do otherwise and our forms have been updated by the state. We have been instructed by the Texas Attorney General to await direction from their office." The note is signed by Barbara Williams, Jackson County Clerk.
