If you want to form your own opinion on the merits of Texas' case, here's what I recommend you do:
1) Read this: https://thefederalist.com/2020/11/12/pennsylvania-mail-in-ballot-snafu-is-ripe-for-the-u-s-supreme-court-to-intervene/
2) Then read Bush v. Gore (including Rehnquist concurrence) and McPherson v. Blacker.

An intelligent, logical non-lawyer can follow it all (with the lawsplaining in the articles) and form own opinion.

But the law is one thing and the prudential judgments of the justices another, so here's my prediction: https://twitter.com/ProfMJCleveland/status/1336400768467951617
And we should already also take a breath and remind ourselves that we should depend on the S.Ct. to "fix" everything....and there is another "fix": https://thefederalist.com/2020/11/19/state-legislatures-must-investigate-fraud-and-choose-electors-accordingly/
Also, for those who see this as an attempt to "overturn" the election results, read it....I'm not suggesting how the state legislatures vote and their prudential judgment might not be Trump voter's preference, but it would be legitimate.
