MEMORANDUM OPINION This Court’s stay of the trial court’s October 3, 2022 letter ruling, granting “Defendant’s Amended Motion for Disclosure of Rule 702 Witnesses and Any Facts or Data Relied Upon by Said Witnesses,” and the trial court’s October 15, 2022 letter ruling, clarifying the October 3, 2022 letter ruling, is lifted.

App.—Tyler June 12, 2019, 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.” (quoting In re Floyd, No. 05-16-00491-CV, 2016 WL 2353874, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas May 3, 2016, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.)); see also In re Prodigy Servs., LLC, No. 14-14-00248- CV, 2014 WL 2936928, at *3–4 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] June 26, 2014, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.) (denying mandamus relief where the absence of a reporter’s record meant there was no record of Prodigy’s objections).
