I've only been to San Antonio as well and it's a nice place to go. There are tons of things to do and it's a nice time.

I DO hear that Austin is great as well and just has a completely different feel and vibe - they are known for their live music and is a younger, more artsy city.

I would do either San Antonio or Austin before Dallas. IMO they are more geared towards the type of things you'd be looking for as a tourist.

I love San Antonio my Aunt and Uncle and cousins live there. Love visiting them. They have a lot of fun things to do. Dallas was a nice city (we went for about 4 days when my cousin got married there). I liked it but had more fun in San Antonio which was more touristy in some ways and great mexican food and markets, etc.

AUSTIN! There is so much to do and it's beautiful. You can also take a day trip to Fredricksburg, which is super cute! San Antonio is nice, but not worth a separate trip in my opinion. You could easily do both if you are renting a car. If you do go to San Antonio stay on the riverwalk. If you do Austin we stayed at the Driskill which was beautiful, but pricey. I think their breakfast or brunch is worth a trip even if you don't stay there.

Dallas doesn't compare to either. It's a fun city, but not worth a whole vacation.
