I had advised people to write in all candidates where possible for a reason.

That is throwing your vote away. When you check the "write-in" box, your vote automatically doesn't get counted and must be hand-adjudicated. And unless there are enough write-in ballots to sway the election, they don't even bother.

Doing the same thing you did in 2020 and expecting a different result was throwing your vote away. The elections are corrupt and require a judicial remedy, or something more drastic. Write in ballots create a paper trail and are hard to replace. A person who writes in candidates already on the ballot can look at the ballots to find his/hers. If enough people state they voted by write in ballot for candidate R, and those ballots can't be found, it's the basis for a legal challenge. Restoring election integrity isn't going to happen by itself. It requires citizen involvement and effort.

In TX, a rite-in is permitted only if a candidate has officiallly entered the write-in process.
