Or they dismissed because they're taking the Texas case and it's the same case so yeah I have no faith anything comes of this but this isn't a "win".

That’s not really how SCOTUS works. If cases are exactly the same they aren’t going to shut down the first one just to hear the second one. They’ll hear the first one, issue their order (which they did), and then shut down the second one too based on that precedent.
I am not familiar with each of the pleadings in the Texas case so there may be other issues there that SCOTUS will analyze. But at any rate, they also haven’t “taken” the Texas case. Suit was filed. What will likely happen is SCOTUS will then deny it and shut it down. They don’t “take” the case until they actually agree to do things like oral arguments, further briefs, etc.
