Texas selects its electors for the Electoral College through a winner-takes-all system during the presidential election. The candidate who receives the most votes in the state is awarded all of Texas's 38 electoral votes. This process is determined by the state's popular vote, with the electors pledged to vote for the candidate who wins the majority. Electors are chosen by political parties in the state, typically at state party conventions or through party committees.

The electors that choose the US president are called collectively the electoral college.
The electors who choose the President were considered to be representatives of the individual states. The states were allowed to determine their own method of choosing their electors, but I think the expectation was the state legislatures would choose them.
The voters choose the electors who then vote for the president. The electors say in advance for whom they are going to vote if they are elected. In many states the names of the electors do not even appear on the ballot, only the names of the candidates that the electors support.

Yes. We choose electors, and they elect the president.

The constitution calls for the President to elected by electors from the states. It allows the state legislatures to decide how to choose its electors. Probably most of the framers expected the legislatures to elect the electors rather than holding a popular election to choose them.
