TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                      NO. 03-15-00422-CV

                                  Shakeel Mustafa, Appellant

                                                 v.

                                     Felix Rippy, Appellee

         FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 4 OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY
          NO. 15-0708-CC4, HONORABLE JOHN MCMASTER, JUDGE PRESIDING

                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

              Shakeel Mustafa filed a notice of appeal attempting to challenge the trial court’s order

granting Felix Rippy’s motion to compel arbitration.

              We do not have jurisdiction to review a trial court’s interlocutory order granting

arbitration. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 171.098(a)(1),(2) (authorizing interlocutory

appeal of trial court order denying application to compel arbitration or granting application to

stay arbitration) (emphases added); Mohamed v. Auto Nation USA Corp., 89 S.W.3d 830, 833-34

(Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2002, no pet.) (dismissing interlocutory appeal because “no

interlocutory appeal lies from an order granting a motion to compel arbitration under TAA”).

              On August 4, 2015, this Court requested that Mustafa file a written response

demonstrating our jurisdiction over this appeal. No response was filed.
              We dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f).

                                            Jeff Rose, Chief Justice
