JUSTICE SMITH delivered the opinion of the Court.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Based on the record presented, we deny Relator’s petition for writ of

mandamus. See In re State ex rel. Thompson, No. 10-22-00381-CR, 2022 WL

17671864, at *1 (Tex. App.—Waco Dec. 14, 2022, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.,

not designated for publication); In re Floyd, No. 05-16-00491-CV, 2016 WL

2353874, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas May 3, 2016, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.)

(“The extraordinary nature of the mandamus remedy and the requirement that

a party seeking mandamus relief exercise diligence both mandate that

arguments not presented to the trial court cannot first be considered in an

original proceeding seeking mandamus”). This Court’s stay of proceedings in

the trial court granted on February 19, 2025 is lifted.
