Mayor of San Antonio

Under Texas law, the mayor, like the city council, is selected in a non-partisan election. When a vacancy occurs, the city council appoints an interim mayor. The mayor, like the other members of the city council, served a two-year term, with a four-term limit. However, due to the passage of Proposition F in 2024, the winner will receive a four-year term, as term limits were changed from four two-year terms to two four-year terms. From 1975 to 2025, every mayor of San Antonio had previously served on the city council.
