The 8th Court of Appeals denied the City of El Paso’s request for a re-hearing on Joe Pickett’s lawsuit against the city. A June ruling by the court held that the city’s franchise fee on wear and tear from the street’s maintenance trucks was unconstitutional.
The city filed the re-hearing on July 9th and was denied Monday evening. This decision may impact the city’s budget and operations.
