Martin M. Parra v. Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas, Inc. ( 2014 )

Toyota Motor Manufacturing
Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
June 13, 2014
No. 04-14-00276-CV
Martin M. PARRA,
Appellant
v.
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
ORDER
Because the clerk’s record that was filed in this appeal on May 22, 2014, did not contain
a final, appealable order, appellant was ordered to show cause why this appeal should not be
dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. On June 6, 2014, appellant responded and attached an order
signed by the trial court 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). It
is therefore ORDERED that appellant show cause in writing within fifteen days of the date of
this order why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. All other appellate
deadlines are suspended pending our resolution of the jurisdictional issue.
