About Bexar County
Bexar County was created on December 20, 1836, and San Antonio is both its county seat and its largest city. The 2020 census counted 2,009,324 residents, the fourth-highest total of any Texas county. Beyond San Antonio, the county includes separate cities such as Alamo Heights, Helotes, Universal City and Converse, and it shares Schertz, Selma and Fair Oaks Ranch with neighboring counties. Those smaller cities run their own governments, so if you are moving into one, check with the city or your HOA about parking and move-in rules rather than assuming San Antonio's apply.
Two loops organize the county's roads. Interstate 410 is the inner ring around central San Antonio, and Loop 1604, named the Charles W. Anderson Loop after a former county judge, is the outer ring and runs entirely inside Bexar County. It passes communities including Converse, Universal City, Live Oak, Somerset and Elmendorf. Interstates 10, 35 and 37 cross the county as well. Telling the crew whether you live inside 410, between the loops or outside 1604 helps them pick an efficient route between your old and new addresses.
Military life is woven into the county. Fort Sam Houston, Lackland Air Force Base, Randolph Air Force Base and Camp Bullis all sit inside its borders, along with the San Antonio Military Medical Center. Families arriving or leaving on orders often face fixed report dates and gaps before base or rental housing opens, which is where short-term storage helps. The San Antonio River, which rises from springs north of downtown and flows south and southeast across the county, passes the Spanish mission sites built along its banks, among the oldest landmarks in the county.

Yes. Many managed buildings require a certificate of insurance before they allow a move-in. Tera provides COIs for high-rises and other buildings on request at no extra cost. Send the building's requirements early, along with any elevator reservation or loading rules, and the plan will reflect them.
Local moves are hourly, so you pay only for the time the crew works, and a deposit equal to the two-hour minimum holds your date. If you are leaving for another state, the move gets a flat rate that locks in once confirmed, with a 15% deposit. Free estimates come with a same-business-day reply.
Yes. Tera moves upright pianos, baby grands and grands, plus gun safes, including ones that have to go up or down stairs. These oversized items may carry a small specialty handling fee, and it is always quoted upfront so you know the full cost before move day.
