Start with the San Antonio Police Department non-emergency number. 210.207.7273

If this isn't in their jurisdiction, they'll refer you to the agency who can help.

I would also file an internet crime complaint with the FBI at https://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx

It is highly unlikely that you will get any resolution on the scam. We experienced a roofer scam in Austin along with a number of other families. The Austin Police Department didn't stop the scam. Our city council member didn't help. Online agencies didn't respond. We did get a judgment in civil court but discovered that collection in Texas is nearly impossible. Another victim was able to get the Travis County sheriff's department to issue an arrest warrant but the individual disappeared. This con artist is likely victimizing people in another city now.
