The Bexar County Courthouse is a historic building in downtown San Antonio, Texas, United States.

The building was designed by architect James Riely Gordon, and borders Main Plaza, along with such other architectural landmarks as the Cathedral of San Fernando.

The style is Romanesque Revival, and the main material used is red sandstone.

Ground was broken for Gordon's structure on August 4, 1891, and the cornerstone was laid December 17, 1892.

In 1891, Gordon won a competition that would get him the commission of the Bexar County Courthouse.

The courthouse has lived through major political changes which charged a lot of the unneeded expansions or renovations.
