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).
