Update, February 19, 4:30 p.m. ET: Just hours after the Travis County Clerk’s office issued Texas’ first legal same-sex marriage license Thursday morning, the state’s highest court blocked any further clerks from following suit. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a motion for temporary relief with the Texas Supreme Court immediately following the marriage of Sarah Goodfriend and Suzanne Bryant. Paxton called the lower court ruling that allowed the marriage a “whim,” and vowed to “ensure that any licenses issued contrary to law are invalid.” It is unclear whether the state supreme court ruling invalidates Goodfriend and Bryant’s hours-old marriage.

Two Central Texas women made history Thursday morning when they became the first same-sex couple to receive a marriage license in the state.

A judge ordered the Travis County Clerk to issue a marriage license to Sarah Goodfriend and Suzanne Bryant, an Austin couple who have been together for nearly 31 years and who married outside the county clerk’s office Thursday in the presence of friends and family, including their daughters Dawn and Ting.

Judge David Wahlberg issued a temporary restraining order granting the couple’s right to marry in part because Goodfriend has ovarian cancer, citing the “time urgency” of a serious condition which might mean she could never see the resolution of ongoing legal challenges to the state’s ban on same-sex marriage.

The Travis County Clerk’s office, in a statement announcing the license, said that while Texas awaits a decision on same-sex marriage—two Texas couples who have sued for the right to marry are awaiting a Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling—”this couple may not get the chance to hear the outcome of this issue because [of] one person’s health.”

Wahlberg also cited “the ongoing violations of Plaintiffs’ constitutional rights,” but his ruling is specifically limited to Goodfriend and Bryant. Other Texas couples who wish to marry in Travis County must obtain a similar restraining order from a judge.

Goodfriend and Bryant petitioned the court just two days after another Travis County probate judge declared Texas’ same-sex marriage ban to be unconstitutional in a separate ruling concerning a lesbian woman whose long-time partner died of colon cancer in 2014.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton had asked the Texas Supreme Court to halt that probate ruling and prevent couples from obtaining marriage licenses from county clerks that would be willing to issue them.

In their petition, Goodfriend and Bryant—who worked quietly with lawyers to ensure their marriage could be made legal before it made the news—asked for a restraining order allowing them to marry, arguing that the state ban causes them “ongoing, irreparable loss of actual and potential benefits otherwise available under the law” and that Goodfriend’s medical condition makes her future “very uncertain.”

Texas is one of just 14 remaining states that does not recognize same-sex marriage, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
