v.

Isaac L. THORNSBURG,

Appellee

From the 150th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas

Trial Court No. 2004-CI-03569

Honorable Martha Tanner, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Catherine Stone, Justice

Sarah B. Duncan, Justice

Karen Angelini, Justice

Delivered and Filed: August 31, 2005

DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION

On June 21, 2005, the trial court denied appellant s motion to compel arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. Following the trial court s denial of its motion, appellant filed this interlocutory appeal. Texas, however, does not allow interlocutory appeal from a trial court s action on a request to compel arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. Freis v. Canales, 877 S.W.2d 283, 284 (Tex. 1994); Jack B. Anglin Co., Inc. v. Tipps, 842 S.W.2d 266, 272 (Tex. 1992); Trico Marine Servs., Inc. v. Stewart & Stevenson Technical Servs., Inc., 73 S.W.3d 545, 547-48 (Tex. App. Houston [1st Dist.] 2002, orig. proceeding).

On July 18, 2005, we ordered appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. To date, no response has been received. Therefore, this appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
