texter = text (transparent) = text + er

This is a regular agent noun built from 'text' + '-er', so the meaning 'a person who writes text' is straightforward.

Etymology

Texter can also mean a professional writer who creates written material. It comes from the Latin texere 'to weave', which helps you remember that this kind of texter 'weaves' words together to make clear or attractive text for readers.
