TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF THE DISTRICT COURT:

        Under Section 51.016 1 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code and Texas

Rule of Appellate Procedure 26.1(b), Defendant Ace Cash Express, Inc. hereby gives

notice that it is appealing Court’s Order denying its Motion to Compel Arbitration and

Brief in Support signed on November 10, 2015. This accelerated appeal is taken to the

Fifth Court of Appeals in Dallas, Texas.

        Dated: November 20, 2015.

1
 The Court held that this matter is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. However, in the event the Texas
Arbitration Act is found to apply, Defendant Ace Cash Express alternatively gives notice of this appeal under Texas
Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 171.098(a)(1) and/or asks that the Court consider this appeal as a petition for
mandamus from the Court’s Order denying its Motion to Compel Arbitration.
