In Re L & L Kempwood Associates, L.p., Relator. L & L Kempwood Associates, L.p., Petitioner v. Omega Builders…

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court granted mandamus relief, vacating the district court’s order staying arbitration and directing the district court to compel arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act. It held that United States v. Lopez does not limit the scope of the FAA as interpreted in Allied‑Bruce Terminix, that the contract at issue involves interstate commerce, that the choice‑of‑law clause does not exclude federal law, and that proper notice of arbitration was given. The petition for review was dismissed as moot.
