In re FIRSTMERIT BANK, N.A. f/k/a Signal Bank, N.A. and Mobile Consultants, Inc., Relators.

Supreme Court of Texas.

Decided June 14, 2001.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

F. Terry Callahan, Law Offices of F. Terry Callahan, San Antonio, for Respondent.


Justice ENOCH delivered the opinion of the Court.

FirstMerit Bank and Mobile Consultants seek mandamus relief after the trial court denied their motion to compel arbitration. Because the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) requires the trial court to compel arbitration in this case, we conditionally grant their petition and order the trial court to compel arbitration in accordance with the parties' agreement.
