"WACO — The Dallas-based Twin Peaks franchisor has filed a lawsuit to revoke the franchise agreement of the Waco restaurant location, nearly two weeks after a deadly shootout took place there.

That lawsuit, filed May 27, seeks $100,000 in relief as well as "non-monetary relief." That number was determined May 20, prior to discovery, and the franchisor reserves the right to seek "appropriate" monetary relief after discovery, the lawsuit states.

The documents states that three days prior to the incident, the Waco franchisee agreed in a telephone call with the Twin Peaks franchisor to verify and enforce certain priorities of the Twin Peaks national office, including "implementing proper security measures to ensure the safety of the Waco restaurant's guests and team members during the event."

The lawsuit also claims that the Waco location's management asked or directed Waco law enforcement to leave the premises immediately prior to the event.

In the request to terminate the franchise agreement, the lawsuit states: "The termination highlights Twin Peaks National's continuing commitment to providing a safe and friendly environment for our guests. Twin Peaks will always be grateful to the officers who risked their lives in Waco to protect the public."
