Areas Served: Car Wreck Cases in San Antonio and the Cities Around It

On this page

Our San Antonio office is in Fountainhead Tower on I-10, and we take car wreck cases from across Bexar County and from the cities around it. Each city below has its own police department, its own main roads and, outside Bexar County, its own county courthouse, and each of those changes something about a claim: who writes the crash report, where a lawsuit is filed, and which liens can apply. The crash counts are TxDOT’s 2025 figures for reportable crashes inside each city’s limits, from CR-3 reports processed as of April 7, 2026.

City	Crashes in 2025	People killed	County
San Antonio	37,299	167	Bexar
New Braunfels	1,643	4	Comal and Guadalupe
Seguin	1,028	4	Guadalupe
Schertz	1,005	2	Guadalupe, Bexar and Comal
Leon Valley	680	1	Bexar
Converse	656	1	Bexar
Live Oak	656	1	Bexar
Universal City	592	1	Bexar
Boerne	477	2	Kendall

San Antonio

Inside the city, the San Antonio Police Department investigates wrecks, and outside the city limits in unincorporated Bexar County the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office usually does. Bexar County as a whole had 46,744 reportable crashes in 2025, with 190 people killed. A lawsuit over a wreck in the county is usually filed in Bexar County district court, the county where the events happened (Civil Practice and Remedies Code 15.002). Our car crash lawyer San Antonio page covers the city’s roads and its trauma centers.

New Braunfels

New Braunfels sits on I-35 between San Antonio and San Marcos, and the city lies in both Comal and Guadalupe counties. The New Braunfels Police Department handles wrecks in the city. Its 1,643 crashes in 2025 put it second among the cities on this page. Because Comal County has far fewer than 800,000 people, an ambulance provider there can hold a lien on an injury claim for its charges, up to $1,000, under Property Code 55.002(c) and 55.004(f), a lien that does not reach care given in Bexar County.

Schertz

Schertz spreads across Guadalupe, Bexar and Comal counties along I-35 and FM 3009. TxDOT’s I-35 Northeast Expansion runs its elevated lanes from I-410 South to FM 3009, so drivers through Schertz meet the construction zone at its northern end. Texas’s Move Over or Slow Down law (Transportation Code 545.157) applies to TxDOT and construction vehicles working with their lights on. The Schertz Police Department handles wrecks in the city.

Converse

Converse is in northeast Bexar County, near Loop 1604 and FM 78. The Converse Police Department investigates wrecks in the city, and wrecks just outside its limits go to the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office. Section 550.026 of the Transportation Code says which agency a driver must notify: the city police inside a city, and either the city police or the sheriff when the wreck is no more than 100 feet outside the limits.

Universal City

Universal City sits along Loop 1604 and Pat Booker Road beside Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph. The Universal City Police Department handles wrecks in the city. A wreck with a government vehicle, including one from a city or a public agency, carries a written notice deadline of six months under Civil Practice and Remedies Code 101.101, and a city charter may set a shorter one.

Live Oak

Live Oak lies where I-35 meets Loop 1604 on the northeast side, one of the interchanges TxDOT’s I-35 Northeast Expansion connects to directly. The Live Oak Police Department investigates wrecks in the city. Its 656 crashes in 2025 matched Converse’s count.

Leon Valley

Leon Valley sits on Bandera Road, State Highway 16, between Loop 410 and Loop 1604 on the northwest side. Bandera Road carries heavy traffic with many driveways and turn lanes, where left-turn wrecks are common. A driver turning left must yield to oncoming traffic close enough to be a hazard (Transportation Code 545.152). The Leon Valley Police Department handles wrecks in the city.

Helotes

Helotes is further out on Bandera Road, State Highway 16, beyond Loop 1604 at the edge of the Hill Country. The Helotes Police Department handles wrecks in the city. Roads here mix fast highway traffic with local turns into neighborhoods and businesses, and rear-end and turning wrecks follow from that mix.

Boerne

Boerne is the seat of Kendall County, northwest of San Antonio on I-10. The Boerne Police Department investigates wrecks in the city, and a lawsuit over a wreck there is usually filed in Kendall County. A wreck on the Bexar County stretch of I-10 is a Bexar County case, whatever the driver’s home city.

Seguin

Seguin is the seat of Guadalupe County, east of San Antonio on I-10. The Seguin Police Department handles wrecks in the city, and its 1,028 crashes in 2025 included 4 deaths, the same number as New Braunfels. A lawsuit over a wreck in Seguin is usually filed in Guadalupe County. As in Comal County, an ambulance provider in Guadalupe County can hold a lien of up to $1,000 on an injury claim under Property Code 55.002(c).
