Hi, I have an email in my Gmail account that I would like to foward to my text so I can send to people I do not have an email address for. Is this possible?

Hello and welcome to Android Forums!
I have two suggestions to help you out:
1. Copy/paste the text from GMail into a new text message to yourself, which is probably the easiest.
2. Also you can take a look through this list for your carrier - then forward the email to [your number]@carrierextension as outlined in this wikipedia article. Basically all phone numbers have a email address registered with their carrier which will receive emails sent to it via SMS: List of SMS gateways - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello and welcome to the forums Rosemry - thanks for joining!
If you open your email and long press on the text you want to copy, 2 little tabs should come up on the text that you can move about (to either side of the text you want to copy) and highlight the text. at the bottom of the screen should be a copy icon (looks like 2 pages of paper)... press that and it would copy the text. Next, head to your messaging app, open a new text and head to the body of the text. A long press in here should then pop up a "paste" box... your text should now appear.
I hope this helps... if this doesn't work, let us know and we will suggest something else
EDIT - Grrr... you just beat me Stigy
