In all likelihood there won't be a third principal city. Schertz doesn't have a large enough degree of independence, nor does it have any real historic communities (it is primarily a bedroom community), so that really doesn't give it a chance at being a principle city.

Seguin is really the only contender... but I wouldn't give it any more than an even chance.
