Can you get legally married after being common law married?

More details to this question:
My husband and I have been common law married in Texas for 7 years. We are about to move to Pennsylvania and they do not have common law marriage. Now I did read they honor common law marriage from other states so I'm just wondering if we would have any issues if we just got legally married in Pennsylvania. And what marriage date would we use on things like filing taxes? The common law one from Texas or the new one from Pennsylvania?

It would probably be better to get married in Texas or sign the common law paperwork in Texas before you move out of the state. Contact your county clerk to find out about the paperwork to register your common law marriage in Texas.
