Direct answer
Decide whether the record was created by a City of San Antonio department or a Bexar County office, then use the corresponding portal with date ranges and source-specific identifiers.
San Antonio and Bexar County are different custodians
| Target | Use | Useful fields |
|---|---|---|
| City department record | City of San Antonio open-record request | Department, subject matter, date range |
| Bexar County record | Bexar County office or request route | County office and native identifier |
| Known report or address | Producing city or county system | Report, address or case reference |
A San Antonio city request does not search Bexar County
The City of San Antonio asks requesters to identify subject matter and date ranges for city-held records. Bexar County has a separate process for county records.
Court, marriage, divorce, property and tax records do not become City of San Antonio files simply because the subject is located inside the city. The record-producing government body remains the custodian.
Keep “City of San Antonio” or “Bexar County” beside the result, along with the report, address, case or other native reference. That prevents one jurisdiction’s no-result from being extended to the other.
