Texas: Agreement to arbitrate employment agreement enforceable

Originally published by Gene Roberts.

In Ophthalmic Consultants of Texas, P.A. v. Morales, the Thirteenth District Court of Appeals held that the agreement to arbitrate between an ophthalmology specialist and his employer was enforceable. The employee sought to have the agreement declared invalid on a number of grounds, including the defenses of it being an illusory agreement, it failed for indefiniteness, it was substantively unconscionable, and that the employer waived its right to arbitrate. The Court of Appeals held that the agreement to arbitrate was valid and enforceable.
Thanks to Ronnie Hornberger for bringing this decision to our attention.
