Appellees. §
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Rogue Industries, L.L.C., is attempting to appeal an order granting Summit Industrial
Construction, L.L.C.’s motion to compel arbitration. We dismiss for want of jurisdiction.
Appellate courts have jurisdiction over final judgments and those specific interlocutory
orders deemed reviewable by statute. See TEX.CIV.PRAC.& REM.CODE ANN. § 51.014. While
orders denying a motion to compel arbitration are subject to interlocutory appeal, orders granting
a motion to compel arbitration are not. See Hudnall v. Smith & Ramirez Restoration, L.L.C., No.
08-19-00217-CV, 2019 WL 4668508, at *1 (Tex.App.—El Paso Sept. 25, 2019, no pet.)(mem.
op.); Mohamed v. Auto Nation USA Corp., 89 S.W.3d 830, 833 (Tex.App.—Houston [1st Dist.]
2002, no pet.). Consequently, the Court lacks jurisdiction to entertain an interlocutory appeal
from the order compelling arbitration. 1
This attempted appeal is dismissed.
