MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant, Sun Fab Industrial Contracting, Inc., brings this accelerated appeal from an order denying its motion to compel arbitration.  Sun Fab and Appellee, Raymundo Jaime, have filed a joint motion to reverse the trial court’s judgment and render judgment ordering the parties to arbitration.  See Tex.R.App.P. 42.1(a)(2).  We grant the motion, reverse the trial court’s judgment, and render judgment granting Sun Fab’s motion to compel arbitration.  The motion does not reflect that the parties have made any agreement regarding costs.  Accordingly, costs are assessed against Appellant.  Tex.R.App.P. 42.1(d)(absent agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs against the appellant).
