Test A Chapter 4 Writing an Effective Essay
Read the short essay, and answer the questions that follow.
(1) Rockwall County, the smallest county in Texas, once was called the “Marriage Mecca.” (2)
Most any time, day or night, couples could go and get married on the spot. (3) That was before the
state law that now makes people wait at least 72 hours from license to ceremony.
(4) But in the early 1950s, if a couple needed a license at 3 a.m., the deputy clerk would sell one
for $2.50. (5) If they needed a blood test, a doctor was on stand-by. (6) Then the couple would drive to
the Justice of the Peace. (7) A sign in the judge’s front yard helped guide the way.
(8) In the 1950s, Texas men under 21 and girls under 18 needed parental approval to get a
marriage license. (9) But it seemed this rule was not strictly enforced. (10) In 1955, the concern about
underage marriage and youngsters eloping pushed Rockwall to limit marriage ceremonies to between 8
a.m. and 5 p.m. (11) The late-night weddings ended. (12) But it was not until 1987 that Texas
instituted the 72-hour waiting period.
