Telephone Company d/b/a AT&T//Cross-Appellant, Public Utility
Commission of Texas v. Appellee, Public Utility Commission of
Texas//Cross-Appellee, CPS Energy, Time Warner Cable Texas LLC
and Southwestern Bell Telephone Company d/b/a AT&T
Dear Mr. Kyle:
The Court heard oral argument in this proceeding on April 22, 2015.
At oral argument, the Court suggested that the parties could provide
post-submission briefs on the Commission’s position that its Findings of
Fact 84 -87 and Conclusion of Law No. 27 were advisory (related to CPS
Energy Appellant’s Point of Error No. 2). 1
The parties have conferenced and have agreed that initial post-
submission filings shall be submitted to the Court no later than May 8,
2015. Please let me know if this is not acceptable to the Court.
1
On April 20, 2015, two days prior to oral argument, the Office of the
Attorney General for the State of Texas, on behalf of the Public Utility
Commission, submitted a letter to the Court that it was their position that the
Court lacked jurisdiction with regard to CPS Energy Appellant’s Point of Error
No. 2, and in particular Findings of Fact 84-87 and Conclusion of Law No. 27.
The Attorney General contends that the matters addressed in the Commission’s
Order on Rehearing at Findings of Fact 84-87 and Conclusion of Law No. 27
address statements about the future and thus are advisory.
