Lost Creek Municipal Utility District v. Travis Industrial Painters, Inc.

B.A. SMITH, Justice.

This appeal presents the question of whether a warranty dispute between a contractor and an owner is subject to mandatory arbitration under the terms of the parties’ contract. The trial court found a duty to arbitrate under the agreement and denied appellant’s request for a temporary injunction of pending arbitration proceedings. The court abated the law suit and referred the dispute to arbitration. Appellant challenges this interlocutory order pursuant to Tex.Civ.Prac. & Rem.Code Ann. § 51.014 (1986 & Supp.1992). We will affirm the trial court’s order.
