 Re: Are there rules for "ed" pronunciation?
Apologies to your mom, but I agree with you. I'd say "texted", pronouncing the ending /Id/.
It's not a word I use, though, and I fall squarely within the descriptive camp (teaching how English is, rather than how it *should* be) so I'd want to see how people actually pronounce the past tense of the verb "text" before I really commit to an answer.
