Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-14-00276-CV Martin M. PARRA, Appellant v. TOYOTA MOTOR MANUFACTURING TEXAS, TOYOTA MOTOR MANUFACTURING TEXAS, INC., Appellee From the 408th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2013-CI-20505 Honorable Gloria Saldana, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice Karen Angelini, Justice Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice Delivered and Filed: July 16, 2014 DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION Appellant seeks to appeal the trial court s order compelling arbitration. An order compelling arbitration, however, is not an appealable order. See In re Gulf Exploration, LLC, 289 S.W.3d 836, 839-40 (Tex. 2009). Accordingly, this court ordered appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Although appellant timely responded to this court s order, appellant presents no legal reason this court has jurisdiction to consider his appeal. Because the order appellant seeks to appeal is not a final judgment or an appealable order, this appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. See Bison Bldg. Materials, Ltd. v. Aldridge, 422 04-14-00276-CV S.W.3d 582, 585 (Tex. 2012) ( Unless specifically authorized by statute, Texas appellate courts only have jurisdiction to review final judgments. ); see also TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE § 171.098(a) (listing appealable judgments and orders in arbitration proceedings). PER CURIAM -2-
