South Texas oilman Clinton Manges, threatened with jail if he did not comply, filed documents ordered in a $650,000 lawsuit over back pay still owed former players for the defunct San Antonio Gunslingers team.

Phil Hardberger, an attorney for the former USFL players, said Manges filed the documents in state district court in San Antonio Thursday shortly before the noon deadline.

“The next step is to go through all the documents to see if there's been full disclosure,” Hardberger said.

Manges was ordered to submit documents detailing his financial status to determine if Manges was financially able to pay the salaries still owed the players.

Manges had been held in contempt of court last month by state District Judge Paul Rivera for not producing the documents during depositions in connection with the lawsuit.
