Claimant or Respondent may, by summary proceedings (e.g., a plea in abatement or motion to stay further proceedings), bring an action in court to compel arbitration of any Claim not referred to arbitration as required by this Section 11.7.
11.7.1 Governing Rules. If a Claim has not been resolved after Mediation as required by Section 11.5, the Claim will be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.7 and the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or, if the AAA is unable or unwilling to act as the arbitrator, then the arbitration shall be conducted by another neutral reputable arbitration service selected by Respondent in Bexar County, Texas.

on service selected by Respondent in Bexar County, Texas.

If such Rules have changed or been renamed by the time a disagreement arises, then the successor rules will apply.
Also, despite the choice of rules governing the arbitration of any Claim, if the AAA has, by the time of Claim, identified different rules that would specifically apply to the Claim, then those rules will apply instead of the rules identified above. In the event of any inconsistency between any such applicable rules and this Section 11.7, this Section 11.7 will control. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator shall be binding and not subject to appeal, but may be reduced to judgment in any court having jurisdiction.
