NOTES
[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. *Board Certified in Page 1 of 3 Administrative Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization
