Well, in and around. Within an hour and a half of driving there are the following wonderful places, all are wonderful photo spots. Sorry if its long winded, and like a traveloge, but I like this area, its got lots of places to photograph.
The Sacred Shrine of Texas Liberty, plus the Riverwalk, Hall of Horns, etc downtown, very camera friendly just as long as you are not photographing professionally for profit, then you need a permit.

The San Antonio Missions (Espada, San Juan, San Jose, Concepcion):

The USS Texas, a little further away, but worth the trip to Houston.
