Texting is one of a long list of distractions to you when driving. In the States you will be commiting a federal offence if caught by an officer.

Texting usually involves taking your eye of the road for several seconds at time, significantly reducing your reaction time. You are therefore much more likely to have a collision or cause an accident.
