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”).
