Texas Labor Code - LAB § 102.075. Appeals

(a) Either party to an arbitration case decided by a district court may file an appeal of the district court's decision not later than the 10th day after the date on which the judgment is entered.

(b) The decision of the court of appeals under this section is final. The clerk of the court of appeals shall certify the decision and the district court shall enter the judgment.

(c) If the court of appeals sustains the exception, it shall set aside the award, but the parties may agree on a judgment to be entered disposing of the dispute. A judgment on an agreement entered into under this subsection has the same force and effect of law as a judgment entered on an award by a board of arbitration.
