Glazer's Wholesale Distributors, Inc. v. Heineken USA, Inc.

The trial court's order compelling arbitration of the issues of good cause for termination of the distributorship contracts and reasonable compensation for the value of the appellant's business does not violate the appellant's rights under the Texas Constitution's open courts guarantee.

DISMISS appeal and CONDITIONALLY GRANT petition for writ of mandamus and Opinion Filed June 29, 2001

OPINION

Glazer’s Wholesale Distributors, Inc. brings an interlocutory appeal of the trial court’s order granting Heineken USA, Inc., Heineken Brouwerijen B.V., and Amstel Brouwerij B.V.’s motion to compel arbitration. Glazer’s also brings a petition for writ of mandamus requesting that we order the trial court to set aside its order compelling arbitration. This Court consolidated the two cases. We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. Because we determine the statute requiring arbitration, as applied in this case, unconstitutionally delegates judicial authority in violation of article five, section one of the Texas Constitution, we conditionally grant the petition for writ of mandamus.
