Supreme Court of Texas

A writ of mandamus is conditionally granted where the trial court abused its discretion in denying an employer's motion to compel arbitration of claims filed by its former employee since the parties entered into a binding arbitration agreement that covered plaintiff's claims for race discrimination, retaliation, tortious interference, defamation, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
