TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-15-00422-CV
Shakeel Mustafa, Appellant
v.
Felix Rippy, Appellee
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).
