Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Relators, Starry Skies Ranch, L.P., Jo Arc Resources, Inc., and Sally Blackie
Sengel, Individually, have filed a petition for a writ of mandamus, challenging the
trial court’s order denying their motion to refer the underlying lawsuit to arbitration.1

The underlying case is Chappell Hill Construction, Inc. v. Starry Skies Ranch, L.P.,
Jo Arc Resources, Inc., and Sally Blackie-Sengel, Individually, Cause No. 36211, in
the 335th District Court of Washington County, Texas, the Honorable Reva L.
Towslee Corbett presiding.
Because relators have an adequate remedy by appeal, we deny the petition.
