I believe there is no need for certiorari since SCOTUS has original jurisdiction in cross-state matters, but a legal 'pede will have to correct me if I'm wrong.
While SCOTUS has original jurisdiction over disputes between states, historically they sometimes do not accept these suits. For example, in 2016 Nebraska and Oklahoma sued Colorado concerning marijuana legalization. The court voted 6-2 not to take the case, without explanation. Thomas and Alito dissented, saying the Court should have taken the case.

Barnes has already tweeted that cases between states go directly to SCOTUS. No need for lower courts to get involved.
Which is the only logical possibility. There's no circuit court covering Texas and Pennsylvania anyway.
Barnes is correct, but there’s no guarantee SCOTUS will hear the case. They will let us know when they have decided.
