COURT OF APPEALS EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS EL PASO, TEXAS

§ BONDED BUILDERS HOME WARRANTY ASSOCIATION § No. 08-14-00090-CV OF TEXAS D/B/A BONDED BUILDERS WARRANTY GROUP, § Appeal from DANIEL AVILA, GRISELE EDITH ARIZPE, AND § 327th District Court AA BUILDERS, LLC, § of El Paso County, Texas Appellants, § (TC # 2013DCV4125) v. § PATRICIA ROCKOFF, § Appellee. §

JUDGMENT

The Court has considered this cause on the record and concludes there was error in the

judgment. We therefore reverse the judgment of the court below and remand the cause with

instructions to obtain an appointment of an arbitrator. So long as the costs of arbitration do not

render the agreement substantively unconscionable under the applicable legal standards, we

order the trial court to grant the pending motions to stay the litigation and compel arbitration, in

accordance with this Court=s opinion. We further order that Appellants recover from Appellee

all costs of this appeal, for which let execution issue, and this decision be certified below for

observance. IT IS SO ORDERED THIS 16TH DAY OF JUNE, 2016.
