Can you cast True Strike and upon the next turn cast a touch spell through a familar for advantage?
$begingroup$
I am rather curious about the interactions between Find Familiar and True Strike in the case of touch spells in D&D 5e. My understanding is that the touch spell can be delivered by a familiar, but does that alter the rules of True Strike providing advantage?
So I ask!

Welcome to RPG.SE! Take the tour if you haven't already, and check out the help center for more guidance. The [rules-as-written] tag is for questions involving a strict literalist interpretation of the rules even when it leads to absurd interpretations, not for regular rules questions, so I've removed the tag.

You cannot
True Strike: (emphasis mine)
Your magic grants you a brief insight into the target’s defenses. On
your next turn, you gain advantage on your first attack roll against
the target, provided that this spell hasn’t ended.
Find Familiar: (emphasis mine)
Finally, when you cast a spell with a range of touch, your familiar
can deliver the spell as if it had cast the spell. Your familiar must
be within 100 feet of you, and it must use its reaction to deliver the
spell when you cast it. If the spell requires an attack roll, you use
your attack modifier for the roll.
Unfortunately, the familiar delivers the spell, and true strike indicates that it only takes effect if you had cast the spell.
