I have a house that I've owned for a couple of years in San Antonio Texas. There is a tree that has limbs that has rubbed a few shingles on the roof. I do not need to do a roof replacement only do a couple of repairs by replacing some shingles in a couple of small areas. The reason why am asking this question is because it is my understanding that San Antonio is targeting sellers/investors that are putting their houses on the market through the MLS. I do plan on selling this house in the near future.
Permit is required only if you will be replacing/repairing more than 50% of the total roof. From what you're describing, it doesn't sound like you'd need to get a permit.
If the repair will be altering the look and aesthetic of the roof, then probably so. Cities tend to have specific looks they stick to. I would check first before you commit to anything.

It will not alter the look or anything of that nature. It is doubtful that anyone would even be able to tell.

When you go to sell the house, make sure that you do not say, "New Roof Replacement in 2020". LOL
It is when you advertise the repairs done to the house that they check for permits. OR if your pictures show shiny new faucets and everything new, they will check.
