Opinion

COURT OF APPEALS

SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS
FORT WORTH

 

NO. 2-04-208-CV

 
 

IN RE JUDITH FARMER                                                            RELATORS

AND LORI JACKSON

 
 

------------

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

------------

MEMORANDUM OPINION1

------------

        The court has considered relators' petition for writ of mandamus.  Relators complain about the trial court's April 1, 2004 order.  The order states that relators shall submit their claims to arbitration, and orders that relators' “claims and causes of action against Defendants are hereby dismissed in their entirety without prejudice.”  The trial court has notified this court that there are no pending counterclaims or cross-claims.  Therefore, because the trial court's order expressly disposed of all parties and claims, the order is final and appealable.  See Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp. 39 S.W.3d 191, 205 (Tex. 2001).  Thus, because relators have an adequate remedy at law, they are not entitled to mandamus relief.  See Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 839 (Tex. 1992) (orig proceeding).

        Accordingly, relators' petition for writ of mandamus is denied.  Relators shall pay all costs of this original proceeding, for which let execution issue.
