57 South Music Festival Questions Remain as No Response Filed in City Petition
EAGLE PASS, Texas — Months after the City of Eagle Pass filed a pre suit discovery petition seeking answers regarding unaccounted revenue tied to the 57 South Music Festival, there has been no public response filed in the case.
The petition, which was previously reported by The Maverick Times, was intended to compel the production of records and information related to the handling of event funds.
Background on the City’s Petition
Earlier this year, the City of Eagle Pass initiated legal action through a pre suit discovery filing to obtain financial records connected to the 57 South Music Festival.
The move signaled that city officials were seeking clarity on revenue that had not been fully accounted for following the event.
During that process, the presiding judge in the matter recused himself, adding another layer of attention to the case.

No Response Filed
As of now, there has been no known response filed to the city’s petition. Just 1 Management LLC under owner Jesse Minton has filed a response to the city’s request for pre-suit discovery.
The lack of response leaves key questions unanswered regarding the financial handling of the event, including how funds were collected, managed, and distributed.
Without a response, the legal process remains in a holding pattern.
Legal Process Remains Unresolved
Pre suit discovery petitions are used to obtain information before a formal lawsuit is filed. The goal is to determine whether sufficient grounds exist to proceed with further legal action.
In this case, the absence of a response delays that process and prevents the city from moving forward with clarity on the matter.
Public Interest Continues
The 57 South Music Festival drew significant attention at the time it was held, and questions surrounding its financial outcome have remained a point of concern for residents.
The lack of movement in the case has only added to that concern, as the public continues to wait for answers.
What Comes Next
It remains unclear whether a response will be filed or if the city will take additional legal steps to obtain the information it is seeking.
The Maverick Times will continue monitoring the case and provide updates as new information becomes available.
