Bexar County is facing a significant budget challenge, with the upcoming year expected to be the worst since the 2008 financial crash. Local leaders have indicated a preference for making cuts rather than adjusting the tax rate. Details of the situation are available from the San Antonio Report, which has published information on the issue.

A UTSA poll has found that Bexar County residents are divided on the question of raising taxes to address the budget shortfall. Further information on the poll and the county's budget situation can be found in the original report, which was posted on June 23, 2026.
