SAT posted 4 total delays of 30+ minutes to this flight when the plan from [company]'s stance was to push on time and attempt to get an earlier clearance time to depart. If SAT had called us to ask about a delay we would have informed them of this; but they elected to violate the FAR's and post a delay themselves in excess of their 15 minute allotment multiple times.
Reporter advised not being in the loop relating to delays and aircraft pushing to get an earlier release time at SAT airport.
