Hoggett v. Zimmerman, Axelrad, Meyer, Stern and Wise, P.C.

Because the record does not show that the appellant did not have timely notice of an arbitration hearing concerning an attorney fee dispute, the county court did not err in failing to vacate the award on that basis.

AFFIRMED AND OPINION FILED NOVEMBER 15, 2001.

OPINION

In this attorney fee dispute, Derek Hoggett appeals a judgment confirming an arbitration award in favor of Zimmerman, Axelrad, Meyer, Stern and Wise, P.C. (“Zimmerman”) on the ground that Harris County Court at Law Number Two (the “county court”): (1) did not have jurisdiction to hear Zimmerman’s application to confirm the arbitration award because there was a prior proceeding pending in the 165 th District Court of Harris County (the “district court”) relating to the arbitration; and (2) incorrectly refused to vacate the arbitration award because (a) the arbitrator refused to postpone the arbitration hearing after Hoggett showed sufficient cause for its postponement and (b) Hoggett did not receive timely notice of the arbitration hearing. We affirm.
