April 15, 200548 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 584

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the arbitration clause in the Provider Agreement between AdvancePCS and the pharmacies is enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act and Texas law. The Court found the clause was not illusory, not unconscionable, and that the trial court abused its discretion by refusing to compel arbitration, granting conditional mandamus relief.
