ROOFING AND CONSTRUCTION,
Appellants                                  §   of Tarrant County (236-267881-13)

V.                                          §   April 14, 2022

JOE KEY AND STACCI KEY, Appellees           §   Opinion by Justice Wallach

                                     JUDGMENT

      This court has considered the record on appeal in this case and holds that there

was no error in the part of the trial court’s judgment denying arbitration as to the class

and individual claims. We affirm those portions of the trial court’s order denying

Appellants Lon Smith & Associates, Inc., and A-1 Systems, Inc. d/b/a Lon Smith

Roofing and Construction’s (“Smith”) Motion to Compel Arbitration as to the

Appellees Joe Key’s and Stacci Key’s individual claims and denying Smith’s Motion to
Compel Arbitration as to the class members. We dismiss for want of jurisdiction the

portion of Smith’s interlocutory appeal regarding the trial court’s order denying

Smith’s Motion to Amend Class Certification. We order the case remanded to the trial

court for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion.

      It is further ordered that Appellants Lon Smith & Associates, Inc., and A-

1 Systems, Inc. d/b/a Lon Smith Roofing and Construction shall pay all of the costs

of this appeal, for which let execution issue.
