Recent progress on muon $g-2$ measurement prompts one to take it even more seriously. In the general two Higgs doublet model that allows extra Yukawa couplings, we take a simplified approach of single enhanced coupling. We fix the charged lepton flavor violating coupling, $rho_{taumu} = rho_{mutau}$, via the one-loop mechanism, for illustrative masses of the heavy scalar $H$ and pseudoscalar $A$, where we assume $m_A = m_{H^+}$. Since extra top Yukawa couplings are plausibly the largest, we turn on $rho_{tt}$ and find that LHC search for $gg to H,,A to taumu$ gives more stringent bound than from $tauto mugamma$ with two-loop mechanism. Turning on a second extra top Yukawa coupling, $rho_{tc}$, can loosen the bound on $rho_{tt}$, but LHC constraints can again be more stringent than from $B to Dmu u$ vs $De u$ universality. This means that evidence for $H,,A to taumu$ may yet emerge with full LHC Run 2 data, while direct search for $tau^pmmu^mp bW^+$ or $tbar cbW^+$ (plus conjugate) may also bear fruit.
