Texas Supreme Court

In Re Joseph Charles Rubiola, Relators

March 11, 201154 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 654

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that parties to an arbitration agreement may designate non‑signatories as parties who can enforce the agreement, and that the Rubiola brothers were such parties; consequently, the trial court's denial of arbitration was an abuse of discretion and the writ of mandamus was granted.
