El Paso Taxpayer Revolt – PICKETT RACKS UP ANOTHER LEGAL VICTORY IN LAWSUIT OVER ILLEGAL WATER FEE

Posted on July 22, 2026

“Former state Rep. Joe Pickett, who filed the lawsuit nearly six years ago challenging El Paso’s environmental franchise fee, said he is celebrating his fourth legal win in the case.

The case centers on a $6 monthly fee added to El Paso Water bills in 2020 that the appeals court labeled an illegal tax.”
