TWC Seeks Dismissal of San Antonio Franchise Fee Suit

Time Warner Cable complied fully with a 2011 state court order it provide documents to San Antonio for the city to complete its franchise fee audit of the cable company, and now the city's 2017 federal lawsuit seeking back fees from the period in question plus from an additional period should be barred for its lack of timeliness, said TWC in a motion to dismiss Friday in U.S. District Court in San Antonio (in Pacer, docket 17-cv-01232). Even if timely, the claims also are outside of general accounting principles, it said. City outside counsel didn't comment Monday. San Antonio filed an opposed motion (in Pacer) for leave to file a second amended complaint, citing ongoing discovery turning up clarifying information.
