(See “TAX MATTERS” herein.) $25,880,000 BEXAR COUNTY, TEXAS (A political subdivision of the State of Texas) TAX-EXEMPT VENUE PROJECT REVENUE REFUNDING BONDS (MOTOR VEHICLE RENTAL TAX), SERIES 2013 Dated Date: December 15, 2012 Due: August 15, as shown on p. ii hereof The Bexar County, Texas Tax-Exempt Venue Project Revenue Refunding Bonds (Motor Vehicle Rental Tax), Series 2013 (the “Bonds”) are being issued by the Commissioners Court (the “Court”) of Bexar County, Texas (the “County”) pursuant to the provisions of (i) Chapter 1207, as amended, Texas Government Code, (“Chapter 1207”) and (ii) an order (the “Order”) adopted on November 20, 2012 by the Court. As permitted by the provisions of Chapter 1207, the Court has, in the Order, delegated the authority to various County officials and employees to execute an approval certificate evidencing the final terms of sale with respect to, and finalizing certain characteristics of, the Bonds. This approval certificate was executed by an authorized County official on December 18, 2012. The Bonds constitute special, limited obligations of the County, payable solely from and secured by a lien on and pledge of certain County revenues (being, primarily, a first lien on and pledge of County revenues derived from the Motor Vehicle Rental Tax (defined herein) imposed on substantially all short-term motor vehicle rentals within the County). Proceeds from the sale of the Bonds will be used to (i) refund the County’s currently outstanding obligations, as identified in Schedule I attached hereto (the “Refunded Obligations”), (ii) fund a debt service reserve fund, and (iii) pay the costs of their issuance. Concurrently with the issuance of the Bonds, the County will also issue its Bexar County, Texas Tax-Exempt Venue Project Revenue Refunding Bonds (Combined Venue Tax), Series 2013. This other series of bonds is being issued to (i) refund the 2012 CVT Refunded Obligations (defined herein), (ii) fund an increase in the debt service reserve fund, and (iii) pay the costs of their issuance. This Official Statement describes only the Bonds and not these other bonds. The Bonds are payable solely from and secured by the lien on and pledge of the County revenues as provided in the Order, on parity with the outstanding Motor Vehicle Rental Tax Bonds and any Additional Motor Vehicle Rental Tax Bonds hereafter issued, and not from any other revenues, properties, or income of the County. Neither the State of Texas (the “State”) nor any political corporation, subdivision, or agency thereof (other than the County) will be obligated to pay the Bonds or interest thereon, and neither the faith and credit nor the ad valorem taxing power of the State or any political corporation, subdivision, or agency thereof is pledged to the payment of principal of or interest on the Bonds. No mortgage on any Venue Project (defined herein) or any other County property is created by the Order. The definitive Bonds will be issued as fully registered bonds in denominations of $5,000 or integral multiples thereof. When issued, the definitive Bonds will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as registered holder and nominee for The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”). DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds. Purchases of beneficial ownership interests in the Bonds will be made in book-entry form. Purchasers will not receive certificates representing their beneficial interest in the Bonds purchased. Interest on the Bonds accrues from their dated date specified above and is payable on August 15, 2013 and on each February 15 and August 15 thereafter until stated maturity or prior redemption. So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of the Bonds, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds will be payable by the Paying Agent/Registrar, which initially is Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Dallas, Texas, to Cede & Co., which will make distribution of the amounts so paid to the participating members of DTC for subsequent payment to the beneficial owners of the Bonds. SEE PAGE ii HEREIN FOR STATED MATURITIES, PRINCIPAL AMOUNTS, INTEREST RATES, INITIAL YIELDS, CUSIP NUMBERS, AND REDEMPTION PROVISIONS FOR THE BONDS The Bonds are offered for delivery when, as and if issued and received by the initial purchasers thereof named below (the “Underwriters”) subject to the approval of legality by the Attorney General of the State of Texas and the approval of certain legal matters by Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., San Antonio, Texas, Bond Counsel. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the Underwriters by their co-counsel, McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. and Shelton & Valadez, P.C., both of San Antonio, Texas.
