Original Proceeding

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Williams Air Technologies LLC filed a petition for a writ of mandamus and
a motion for temporary relief through which it seeks to stay arbitration proceedings
that are scheduled to begin on October 17, 2014, and to compel the Judge of the
284th District Court of Montgomery County, Texas, to vacate the trial court’s
order of August 11, 2014, which compels arbitration in a suit on a contract
between Relator and one of the real parties in interest, Newport Classic Homes,
L.P. Relator contends the agreement is void due to unconscionability and argues
that the trial court erred in compelling arbitration because the real parties in interest
failed to produce evidence contrary to Relator’s evidence of the expense of
1
arbitration and the inability to meet those expenses. Relator does not explain the
approximate two-month delay between the date on which the trial court signed the
order and the date Relator filed its petition seeking mandamus relief.
After reviewing the mandamus petition and the record that Relator submitted
with its petition, we conclude that Relator has not shown that it is entitled to
mandamus relief. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.8(a). Accordingly, we deny the motion
for temporary relief and the petition for writ of mandamus. Id.
PETITION DENIED.
