Summary
The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals, holding that the borrowers' claims fall within the scope of the arbitration agreement and that Cash Biz did not waive its right to arbitrate by invoking the criminal justice system. The Court applied a de novo review of the legal questions and declined to follow the Fifth Circuit's decision in Vine.
