The other six were found at other Valero gas stations in the city, the data showed.
July's tally is twice as high as June's, when police only found six skimmers in San Antonio.
Fraudsters target older gas pumps, which are easier to target, according to the police department.
The best way to avoid being a victim of credit card skimming is to use upgraded pumps, which are encrypted. Motorists can also pay with cash at the pump instead.
So far in 2019, police have seized 112 skimmers, according to the records obtained by KSAT.com.
