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.
