Texas is going all in on laws that won’t survive Court scrutiny.
if these laws push their supporters to the polls because libruls might interfere, thats all the reason to pass them.
but i would not rely on the federal courts to squash these things in any speed or even at Ll given the carpet bombing trump did to bias the judicial system
First, a lot of big companies do operate in Texas, for lots of reasons, including decent connectivity, an interesting energy market, and some amount of low cost workforce.
If that doesn't work, then you can always follow the money and sanction companies that do business with the company you want to sanction. No Texas advertising would make an impact.

This note seems to indicate suing out of state corporations in state courts is often accepted, and the exceptions seem to be cases where there's no real connection for the corporation to the state: https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution-conan/amendment-14/...
I also saw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BNSF_Railway_Co._v._Tyrrell where the company does have some presence in the state, but it was not its state of incorporation or principle place of business, and the plantiffs were not resident in the state and the events in the case didn't take place in that state either.
On enforcing the judgement, I would assume under a Writ of Execution local sheriffs could seize Facebook property at their offices in Austin or Dallas, or their data centers in Fort Worth. Those buildings (if owned and not leased) and/or their contents are certainly subject to judgements in the state of Texas.
