EU resident wondering how the US legislative process works. For example the recent Texas abortion law, in the hypothetical situation that the majority of Texans don’t agree with the new law, what recourse do they have? What would the possibilities for repealing this law look like?

Either new representatives will have to elected to overturn the law or private citizens will have to sue the state and get the case pushed through the courts until it hits the Supreme Court where they hear the case and determine if a law like this can exist
Some states have direct initiatives, where a law can be placed on the ballot directly.
Otherwise it’s a matter of electing different representatives, or pressuring sitting ones to change their positions.
