ON MOTION FOR REHEARING OF CAUSE
SUPPLEMENTAL PER CURIAM.
On rehearing, the real party raised for the first time that the Federal Arbitration Act is “reverse preempted” by the McCarran-Ferguson Act, citing for authority the Houston court of appeals decision in In re Kepka. See McCarran-Ferguson Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1012(b); Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et. seq.; see also In re Kepka, —S.W.3d -, 2005 WL 1777996, (Tex.App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 2005). Because this issue has not been reviewed by the courts below, we decline to reach the issue and express no opinion as to the merits of this argument.
