How can i get text messages spoken aloud on Android

[AC Question]

I'm having trouble getting my android phone to use TalkBack to speak my text messages.

Use a third party app Or S Voice. Personally, I use ReadItToMe, a third-party app. A very good app that read out loud texts, emails. It can filter out your contacts lists, your apps, and does Voice Reply. Talk back is more for the accessibility to those with hearing and vision impaired. It's a nightmare trying to turn it off when it starts speaking everything when it goes into tutorial mode.
