How do you remedy a drywall patch that you can still see after sanding smoothly and painting due to it being a different textue than the wall?

From my experience, I'd say apply a few extra coats of primer, letting it dry between coats. Eventually, the primer will fill in the differences in the patch and dry wall, giving you the appearance you want. You may want to prime the entire wall after the primer coats and then repaint. To be sure, paint the area just around the patch and some dry wall with the room color to see if it's hidden. If it is, finish the rest.
