That may be true (when I agree with the elites). But when voters have a "pretend say" and are overridden I say that's always a bad thing even when the voters are wrong. The biggest problem with the EU (for many "leaves"
seems to be that they have no say in EU politics/laws. It built up to this. If they also have no say in UK politics they'll feel even more F-ed. If immigration is the biggest area of concern with the EU overriding the vote is likely just going to put a bigger divide between citizens and immigrants when citizens fell they have no recourse at all on an issue they feel very strongly about.
The Texas analogy you described works more like if the EU parliament stopping the exit.
Brexit overruled by the UK parliament would be more like Texas voters choosing to exit and the Texas congress overriding them.
