MAJORITY OPINION

MARTHA HILL JAMISON, Justice.

PAK Foods Houston, LLC brings this interlocutory appeal from the trial court’s order denying its motion to compel arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA). See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem.Code § 51.016 (providing that matters subject to the FAA may be appealed under the same circumstances that an appeal from a federal court order is permitted by 9 U.S.C. § 16). PAK Foods argues the trial court abused its discretion in denying arbitration and S.L. did not prove a defense to the parties’ arbitration agreement. We affirm.
