Arbitration Allowed

January 30, 2024

This language was sufficient–notwithstanding additional, similar language in other cases on the point–to allow a right of appeal from an artbitration award under the Texas Arbitration Act:

Notwithstanding the applicable provisions of Texas law the parties agree that the decision of the arbitrator and the findings of fact and conclusions of law shall be reviewable on appeal upon the same grounds and standards of review as if said decision and supporting findings of fact and conclusions of law were entered by a court with subject matter and present jurisdiction.
