Venture Cotton Cooperative and Noble Americas Corp., Petitioners v. Shelby Alan Freeman, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the arbitration agreement between Venture Cotton Cooperative and the farmer members is enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act; the limitation of statutory remedies does not render the agreement unconscionable. The Court reversed the Court of Appeals decision denying arbitration and remanded for further consideration of the remaining unconscionability arguments and possible severability of the offending provision.
