The San Antonio City Council is the legislative arm of the municipal government of the city of San Antonio in the U.S. state of Texas. It consists of 10 members elected from single-member districts, which was changed from an at-large voting system in 1977.
San Antonio has a council-manager form of government in which the city manager, Erik Walsh, is the city's main, albeit unelected, executive. The mayor of San Antonio presides over the city council; Gina Ortiz Jones was elected to her first term in June 2025. As a result of the passage of Proposition F in November 2024, the term length for city council members was extended from two years to four years.
