Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-17-00159-CV
Kenneth Brown and Laura BROWN,
Appellants
v.
THE HORIZON OWNERS ASSOCIATION, Inc.,
Appellee
From the 198th Judicial District Court, Kerr County, Texas
Trial Court No. 16794B
Honorable Rex Emerson, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice
Karen Angelini, Justice
Irene Rios, Justice
Delivered and Filed: July 26, 2017
DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Kenneth Brown and Laura Brown appeal the trial court’s interlocutory order granting the
Horizon Owner’s Association, Inc.’s motion to compel arbitration and staying the proceedings in
the trial court. A trial court’s order compelling arbitration and staying proceedings in the district
court is not subject to interlocutory appeal See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 171.098
(West 2011); see also Chambers v. O’Quinn, 242 S.W.3d 30, 31–32 (Tex. 2007) (per curiam)
(explaining that neither the FAA nor the TAA allow interlocutory appeals from orders compelling
arbitration). Therefore, the trial court’s order is not an appealable interlocutory order, and this
04-17-00159-CV
Court does not have jurisdiction over this interlocutory appeal. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE
ANN. § 51.014 (West 2015), § 171.098.
On June 8, 2017, we ordered appellants to show cause in writing why this appeal should
not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Appellants did not respond.
Therefore, this appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
Costs of appeal are taxed against appellant.
