Order compelling arbitration not reviewable
July 05, 2006 by Ross Runkel at LawMemo

"We recognize there is some one-sidedness in reviewing only orders that deny arbitration, but not orders that compel it. Yet both the Federal and Texas acts leave little uncertainty that this is precisely what the respective legislatures intended."

So says the Supreme Court of Texas in In Re Palacios (Texas 06/30/2006).

The decision is short and sweet, and the Texas court indicates that it will try to read the Federal Arbitration Act and the Texas Arbitration Act in a harmonious manner.
