Is there an appeals process for an arbitration award?

Yes, there is an appeals process for an arbitration award in Texas. Appeals of an arbitration award must be filed in the court that has jurisdiction over the parties involved in the dispute. The appeal must generally be filed within 30 days of the award being issued. To appeal an arbitration award, a party must file a motion for review. This motion must demonstrate that the arbitration award was wrong, and must specify the reasons why. For example, an appeal may be filed if one party believes the award was based on evidence that was incomplete, or if one party believes the arbitration panel misapplied the law, or if one party believes the award was against public policy. The court will either affirm or modify the award, or may reverse it entirely. Once the court has issued its ruling, there is no further appeals process. However, if the appeals court modifies or reverses the arbitration award, either party is allowed to appeal that decision to the Texas Supreme Court. The Texas Supreme Court is the court of last resort, and its decision is final.
