Shakeel Mustafa, Appellant v. Felix Rippy, Appellee

Jeff Rose, Chief Justice

FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 4 OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY
NO. 15-0708-CC4, HONORABLE JOHN MCMASTER, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION

Shakeel Mustafa filed a notice of appeal attempting to challenge the trial court's order granting Felix Rippy's motion to compel arbitration.

We do not have jurisdiction to review a trial court's interlocutory order granting arbitration. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 171.098(a)(1),(2) (authorizing interlocutory appeal of trial court order denying application to compel arbitration or granting application to stay arbitration) (emphases added); Mohamed v. Auto Nation USA Corp., 89 S.W.3d 830, 833-34 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2002, no pet.) (dismissing interlocutory appeal because "no interlocutory appeal lies from an order granting a motion to compel arbitration under TAA").

On August 4, 2015, this Court requested that Mustafa file a written response demonstrating our jurisdiction over this appeal. No response was filed.

We dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f).
