In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals
NO. 14-09-00685-CV
In Re GEOmet, Inc., Relator
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On August 10, 2009, relator, GeoMet, Inc., filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this Court. See Tex.
Gov’t Code Ann. §22.221 (Vernon 2004); see also Tex. R. App. P. 52. In the petition, relator asks this
Court to compel the Honorable Mike Engelhart, presiding judge of the 151st District Court of Harris
County, to set aside his May 18, 2009 order denying its motion to compel arbitration.
Relator has not established that the claims of real party interest, El Paso E&P Company, L.P. f/k/a El
Paso Production Company, are subject to an agreement to arbitrate. See In re Dillard Dep’t Stores,
Inc., 186 S.W.3d 514, 515 (Tex. 2006) (orig. proceeding) (per curiam).
Therefore, relator has not established its entitlement to the extraordinary relief of a writ of mandamus.
Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of mandamus.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Chief Justice Hedges and Justices Seymore and Sullivan.
