Dear Mr. Neu:

     This letter is in reference to the letter you filed on April 11, 1995 with respect to a
complaint filed November 26, 1993, against the price Presidio TV Cable ("Presidio") was
charging for cable programming service in Presidio, Texas, CUID No. TX0296.  In that
letter, you state that Presidio's Presidio, Texas system has 640 subscribers.  Based on the
information you have provided, it appears that the Presidio system qualifies as a "small
system" pursuant to 47 C.F.R.  76.901(c), and was therefore exempt from rate regulation
until May 15, 1994.

     We will rule at a later date on Presidio's justification under the Commission's revised
rate regulations of its cable programming service rates in Presidio beginning May 15, 1994. 
In that connection, we would need a channel line-up and rate card verifying your statement
that Presidio provides only one tier of service.  

     Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Peter G. Wolfe 
at (202) 739-0783.

                         Sincerely,



                         JoAnn Lucanik  
                         Chief, Financial Analysis and Compliance Division
