I did not see Judge Brown mention Soros in his opinion but I will look later
I was amused to see the Houston paper do a nice editorial on Judge Brown

Attorney General Ken Paxton alleges that this result is just a scheme of the “radical left.” That line probably has them in stitches down at the courthouse. The 160-page opinion was written by U.S. District Judge Jeff Brown, who Trump himself nominated to the bench in 2019. Before he joined the federal bench, Brown had been appointed to the Texas Supreme Court by Gov. Rick Perry and reelected twice to his seat by Texas voters. He had also been appointed by Perry to the 14th Court of Appeals and the 55th Civil District Court here in Harris County. Brown even served as a law clerk to Greg Abbott back when the governor was on the state Supreme Court.
Given those credentials, some Democrats might have feared that Brown would be a prime candidate to toss aside the law and, like far too many other Texas Republicans, put Trump first.
Longtime readers of the Houston Chronicle editorial board know better.
During his years as a Texas jurist, we routinely endorsed Brown as a man of integrity and sterling legal scholarship. In his last election to the Texas Supreme Court, we specifically noted Brown joined the dissenting opinion in a controversial case that found state licensing requirements for eyebrow threaders to be unconstitutionally burdensome.
“This is one of those cases in which, once the Court has decided whom it wants to win, the less said the better,” the dissent reads.
Brown told us that the law in question was “stupid but constitutional” — a phrase coined by the late Justice Antonin Scalia.
