Send and receive texts from desktop to tethered android phone without internet connection

I've been looking for a program that I can send and receive texts messages from my desktop computer to my tethered android mobile phone WITHOUT being connected to the internet or a cloud. PDAnet used to have that exact feature but has abandoned it years ago. I currently use mighty text but I hate it. Its totally unreliable and needs an internet connection.

Thanks in advance.
 
I'm assuming you mean that the laptop does not have an Internet connection but is connected to the phone somehow (USB I guess) and does have a network facing connection.

I would checkout Pushbullet although that probably requires bot0h devices be on the Internet. SnapPea is probably your best bet actually.

Yes. Per the title of this post, my mobile phone and desktop computer are tethered (via a USB cable). I want to be able to use my desktop computer and keyboard to type a text and have it sent from my tethered phone without either being connected to the internet. PDAnet used to have a desktop client to accomplish this.
 
Well like I said PushBullet might, but SnapPea is probably your best bet. If you have a Google Voice number you can send/receive texts through Hangouts directly from your computer also (although it has to have an Internet connection)
 
I use MyPhoneExplorer for sync'ing Outlook to my phone but it also does SMSs in the way you want. In fact this is my main way of sending texts.
