Bexar County follows state minimums under Texas Health and Safety Code 161 and supports city-level smoking ordinances. Smoking and vaping are restricted near hospitals, schools, public buildings, and inside many parks, with bans on smoking in vehicles carrying minors under 18.
Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 161 sets baseline tobacco rules, while local jurisdictions inside Bexar County, including the City of San Antonio, layer on more protective indoor and outdoor smoking restrictions. County buildings, parks, and vehicles are smoke-free under county personnel and parks rules. Smoking inside a motor vehicle with a child under 18 present is restricted in many Texas jurisdictions. State law prohibits smoking on public school property. E-cigarettes and vape products are treated as tobacco for most enforcement purposes. Federal smoke-free housing rules apply to HUD-assisted properties inside the county.
Violating county or city smoke-free rules is generally a Class C misdemeanor with fines up to 500 dollars per offense. Repeat business violators can face permit and license consequences from health authorities and TABC where alcohol is served.
