I am remodeling my bathroom. I took out the old vanit countertop with
sidesplash. It was anchored to the wall with adhesive, and part of the
drywall came out when it was removed. There is now an area with a 3" X
3" hole and a lot of the paper pulled from the drywall sheet. What's
the best way to patch it??
I was thinking of filling it in with Fix-All, then several coats of mud
until it is level, and then go to Home Depot and look for a can of
spray-on texture for the final coat.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If you DAGS on patching sheetrock, you'll be amazed at the amount of
wheel-reinvention done.
A professional repair:
cut hole to a "regular" shape, like rectangle.
cut scrap of sheetrock 2" longer and wider than hole, or slightly less.
from backside of that, remove 1" all around, of paper and gypsum etc.
You've got a 1"-wide paper flap extending all around "good" side of
sheetrock.
sand around edge of opening in wall
apply compound generously to back of patch "flap", insert into hole,
and use blade to remove that compound as possible.
continue with compound coats, etc., etc.
This can make for a very strong, undetectable patch.
HTH,
