SAN ANTONIO – Flooding continued to impact Bexar County on Thursday as crews monitored high-water trouble spots across neighborhoods, parks and roadways, county officials said.

In a news release on July 16, 2026, the Bexar County Public Information Office said county departments are “closely monitoring active flooding situations” and that the county’s main priority is public safety and keeping residents informed about severe weather.

“Our first priority has been protecting the lives and safety of everyone in Bexar County,” Bexar County Judge Peter Sakai said. “County employees, first responders, and our partner agencies have worked around the clock under extremely challenging conditions to keep our residents safe. Their commitment and dedication have been extraordinary.”

County officials said that since the onset of the storm, Bexar County has coordinated a countywide response involving Public Works, the Office of Emergency Management, the Sheriff’s Office, the Fire Marshal’s Office and partner agencies. Crews have been deployed throughout the county to monitor conditions, barricade flooded roadways and respond as conditions change.

The Bexar County Office of Emergency Management said it is working with the Texas Division of Emergency Management to offer support at the Freeman Coliseum, but the site is not open to the public. The office said it is also coordinating with the National Weather Service and emergency management partners to monitor weather conditions and issue public safety information, supporting suburban municipalities and emergency responders with resources and operational assistance as requested, and maintaining communication with local, state and regional agencies.

Bexar County Public Works crews are continuing to monitor roadways and low-water crossings, remove debris, install barricades and close roads made unsafe by floodwaters, and conduct ongoing assessments of roads, drainage systems and flood-prone areas, officials said.

County officials said Bexar County IT is assisting neighboring jurisdictions.

Even if rainfall decreases, officials cautioned that flood dangers can persist after storms pass because water levels in creeks, rivers and drainage channels can continue rising as runoff moves downstream.

Bexar County said it will continue monitoring conditions and deploying resources alongside municipal, regional and state partners until the threat has passed.
