Do you know a secret about the US Supreme Court?
The real "secrets" are the justices' deliberations on each case, which is held in a private conference room occupied only by the nine justices. If a justice tells a secret, his or her reputation would be compromised, and the media would (probably) publish or broadcast the information prematurely.
There are no laws governing secrecy, so it's difficult to imagine a situation that would result in legal consequences. The indiscretion may be consider a breach of judicial ethics, however, so it's possible the justice could be censured by the Chief Justice or the bar.
If you tell a secret about the Supreme Court, the FBI would pay you a visit to ask where you learned the secret. You'd better have a good explanation.

Although law professionals will tell you it is a separate system, it is not.

State courts cannot divert from a Federal Court ruling; if they do the US Federal Court system will overturn the ruling.

Does the Texas Supreme Court have jurisdiction to tell the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals what to do?
No. Texas and Oklahoma are unique in that they each have two appellate courts functioning as the highest court in the State. In Texas, the Supreme Court reviews civil and juvenile cases, while the Court of Criminal Appeals reviews adult criminal cases. The two courts are independent of each other and of equal power, so neither has jurisdiction over the other's cases. The only exception is that the Supreme Court of Texas is responsible for devising and updating the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, which also apply to the Court of Criminal Appeals.
