M E M O R A N D U M   O

Appellants
bring this appeal from the trial court=s Order Granting Petition for Rule
202 Deposition.  It appears from that
order the trial court deferred its ruling on the issue of arbitrability until
after the Rule 202 Deposition has been taken.[1]  

The
trial court=s order granting the Petition for
Rule 202 Deposition is not an appealable interlocutory order.  Therefore we have no jurisdiction except to
declare the interlocutory nature of the order and dismiss the appeal.  Tex.
R. App. P. 42.3(a); Yancey v. Jacob Stern & Sons, Inc., 564
S.W.2d 487, 488 (Tex.Civ.App.BHouston [1st Dist.] 1978, no writ); Lipshy Motorcars, Inc.
v. Sovereign Assoc.'s, Inc., 944 S.W.2d 68, 70 (Tex. App.BDallas 1997, no writ).
 
The
trial court has not ruled on the motion to compel arbitration.  Because there is no order denying the motion
from which to appeal, we do not have jurisdiction.  See City of Galveston v. Gray, 93
S.W.3d 587, 590 (Tex. App.BHouston [14th Dist.] 2002, orig. proceeding).
For
these reasons, the appeal is ordered dismissed.
