The Texas Supreme Court issued two per curiam opinions this morning.
The first invoked Rule 47.1 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure and remanded a case back to the 11th Court of Appeals. The Court found that the Court of Appeals’ opinion “failed to identify and expressly consider modification and waiver as distinct issues associated with the relief the parties requested from the arbitrator” and remanded the case for further consideration of those issues. The underlying case involves arbitration issues, but the short Supreme Court opinion is concerned with appellate procedure rather than the law of confirming arbitration awards.
The Court’s other per curiam opinion reviewed a Second Court of Appeals opinion in a termination of parental rights case.
