COVID-19 Voting by Mail Update
|
|
COVID-19 VOTING BY MAIL UPDATE
On May 27, 2020, the Texas Supreme Court determined that the lack of immunity alone is not a "disability" for purposes of voting by mail. However, the court also stated that a voter can take into consideration aspects of their own health and health history when determining whether in-person voting will cause a likelihood of injury due to a physical condition.
To request a ballot by mail based on a disability, an eligible voter can check the box for disability on the request form and submit to the Bexar County Elections Department which will then provide a ballot by mail. If you would like an application to request a ballot by mail please visit,
the Early Voting & Absentee Ballots page.

Leon Valley Business Owners:
It is with great excitement we announce that the Economic & Community Development Advisory Committee and Leon Valley City Council approved the Small Business Health & Safety Program (SBHSP).

This email is not a guarantee of eligibility or a promise of funds, however, your business is strongly encouraged to submit an application for consideration.
Staff is prepared to start accepting applications immediately. Completed applications must be submitted on or before July 30, 2020. SBHSP applications will be processed on a first come, first serve basis and subject to early termination if program funds are exhausted.
