I wonder if this plays into the shutdown talks at all. I guess we'll see near Feb. 15th.
Does anyone know what happens when 2 federal courts issue different injunctions? What happens before it goes to the Supreme Court?

All the other courts are considering the issue whether or not DACA was properly withdrawn.
This specific lawsuit is about whether or not DACA was
legal to begin with in the first place.
If Hanen issues a summary judgment in favor of Texas, then the issues considered by the other courts become moot since they target a more "senior" issue.
There are actually a few more avenues that this case could take:
1) Hanen issues summary judgment; renewals cancelled and everyone slowly expires over the next 2 years.
2) Hanen issues summary judgment; renewals allowed, but everyone expires on the same date in 2021
3) Hanen declines summary judgment; case moves to trial
4) Hanen issues summary judgment (1) or (2), but stays any outcome pending an appeal; the case moves to appeals court in six months and the appeals court refuses to hear the appeal to the summary judgment/stay lifted/everyone slowly expires?; defense appeals to the supreme court in 2020, SCOTUS declines to hear the case, final nail in the DACA coffin
