I don't personally think textéd (that is how you show the e is stressed) works particularly well. I prefer to follow taxed, which is quite similar, and comes out like tax'd. If we say texted as text'd then it sounds either like text or tex'd, but while these are not perfect, they are definitely less cumbersome than textéd.
