Learn how to have emotionally relevant conversation. Every communication exchange between you and the girl should have some purpose. Basically, go find people who are good at texting girls (or at least better than you are), figure out why they're good, and then emulate them. Honestly, with texting, the less the better. You want to keep texting flirty, short, and fun. You DON'T want to build rapport or comfort over text. And there really isn't any reason to text a girl out of the blue unless it's to set up logistics for a meet-up, although if you do, you have to make sure it's value-giving. Here's a text exchange I dug up:
Me (out of the blue): Hey purple pants, I got some free time tonight. Hit me up if you want to play music or grab ice cream or something
Her: Yeah we could do something
Her: I'm just leaving school
Her: Free is always good. Maybe a game? Or some park time? Or jamming would be cool too
Me: I'm still in the lab, should be done in like 30 min, but I need to grab food. Wanna meet me at the school, we'll grab food and go to the park
Me: Bring a frisbee
Her: Meet you at the fish tanks? In creepy old dude alley? Or where?
Me: Yah
Her: Fish tanks. M'k
Her: 30 min

Me: Some friends and I are doing dinner at hu hot tomorrow at 6, feel free to come along and bring friends!
Her: Perhaps perhaps perrrrrhaps. Just got home from school, so may depend on when I get out tomorrow. Also, I dunno if I mentioned it, buuuuuut I'm poor. Also I may a mtg tomorrow evening. Will keep you posted tomorrow
Me: Word
Her (next day): Ok I do have a meeting tonight. I'm trying to plan a ginormous grad party with a bunch of classmates. Anyway, no huhot for me. I'm having some friends over Friday evening for grilling and painting a corn hole set. You wanna come over Fri?
Me: Thanks for the invite, I would love to but I'm out of town Friday-Sunday. If not tomorrow night, we'll hang next week
Her: Maybe tomorrow night. I have to paint my nails. But we could do something early evening
Me: Well, first things first. Paint your nails, shit will hit the fan if you leave that for later. We'll figure something out for tomorrow.
Her: No they'll get all messed up if I paint them and then go do stuff!
no response from me
Her (out of the blue): *pic* Alligator Snapper says: "Herro!"
Me: *pic* Didn't realize snappers were Asian. Selfie this morning in the vet lab
Her: His words were muffled due to the pole in his mouth
Her: Racist
Me: The lynx's facial expression reflects how I feel about you right now
Her: Is that what that thing is? I thought it was that creepy beast from the Never Ending Story

Me: *pic of a dissected bird* and tweety bird says hi
Her: I'm no doctor, but that bird looks dead
Me: Wow, you guys learned a lot in vet school. I might be joining some friends and watching some of the no game tonight. You wanna join?
Me: Feel free to bring friends too
Her: Where you watching? I gotta be honest, I'm feeling pretty socially exhausted right now. 3 nights in a row is a lot for me

Me: Good, I should be able to spare a couple hours. See you at the downtown artery at 7
Her: Cool. Sounds good!
There's a bunch more but my fingers are tired from dropping this value bomb on you. Study it, emulate it, and see, texting girls is basically about just being normal and throwing in some fun. Don't focus on this at all, focus more on in person game, master that, and the text game will follow.
