Can arbitration awards be appealed?

Yes, arbitration awards in the state of Texas can be appealed. The process for appealing an arbitration award depends on the specific arbitration rules of the agreement in question. Generally, the parties involved in the arbitration must first file a motion to vacate and set aside the award with the court. This motion must be filed within a specific time frame determined by the law. If the court denies the motion, the parties may be able to file an appeal. The parties must file the notice of appeal with the court, along with a request for a stay of enforcement of the arbitration award. The court will then review the appeal and decide if it should be granted. In the case of an arbitration award, the appeals court is limited to a review of the facts and evidence of the case, and they are not allowed to take any new evidence or change any of the findings or conclusions made by the arbitration panel. The appeals court will also consider any evidence regarding procedural irregularities that took place during the arbitration process. Once the appeals court makes its decision, the parties are generally unable to appeal their decisions any further. This is why it is important to review the specific rules of the arbitration agreement before proceeding. Knowing the rules of the agreement and what steps could be taken in the event of an appeal can help ensure a more successful outcome.
