BEXAR, TEXAS. Bexar was off a road that is now U.S. Highway 81 two miles west of Somerset and eighteen miles southwest of downtown San Antonio in southwestern Bexar County. It was established after the Civil Warqv and had a post office from 1883 to 1907. The settlement declined after 1900, but as late as the 1930s it still had a church, a cemetery, a store, and a number of houses. The church and store were closed after World War II,qv and in the early 1990s only a few scattered houses remained in the area.
