Need to forward a text chain to one of my contacts and I can't find the "forward" option anywhere on my phone. I also need to remove the original contact from the forward.

"Forwarding" in SMS (texting) means that instead of going to your phone, it'll go to the phone you're forwarding to.

There's no forwarding in the email sense in SMS - just copy the text and paste it into a new message to the new recipient. (Remember, the protocol was designed to send short messages [hence Short Message Service] to pocket pagers.) There may be apps that allow you to forward a conversation, or a block of conversations, to another number or group, but it's not a native function of an SMS app.
