Depending on the OS (operating system) that the MacBook is running, the computer can send "text messages" a number of different ways. If the computer is running Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) or higher, there should be a Messages.app in the Applications folder; this can be used to send "text" messages to people on other Apple devices, including Macs, iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches using a registered Apple ID (which is almost always an email address; someone can also choose to associate a phone number with their Apple ID, which is how these "texts" can get from a computer, which doesn't have a phone number, to an actual phone and appear in the Messages app on an iPhone).

Alternatives include third-party apps such as Adium, which take advantage of existing instant messenger services like Yahoo! Instant Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), Google Talk/Chat or Jabber, and many more.
