          APPEAL FROM THE 200TH DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
          BEFORE CHIEF JUSTICE ROSE, JUSTICES GOODWIN AND FIELD
         REVERSED AND DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION IN PART;
              VACATED IN PART -- OPINION BY JUSTICE GOODWIN




This is an appeal from the interlocutory order signed by the trial court on October 30, 2017.

Having reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments, the Court holds that there was reversible

error in the court’s order. Therefore, the Court reverses the trial court’s interlocutory order

denying appellants’ plea to the jurisdiction, dismisses appellees’ claims for lack of subject

matter jurisdiction, and vacates the trial court’s order granting appellees’ application to compel

arbitration. Appellees shall pay all costs relating to this appeal, both in this Court and the court

below.
