As far as I know you can only apply a ringtone to a contact for phone calls, not texts.

To do this open up your contact, hit menu and it will give you the option to select a ringtone for this person.

Saw this in a post on the X forums and it worked for me on my Bionic.

Go to Contacts. Short Tap the Contact you want to set a custom ringtone for (don't hold and edit or anything, just tap to bring up their info). Hit the hard Menu Button. Go to Options. In there you can select a Ringtone for the Contact as well as send Incoming Calls directly to Voicemail. Kinda in a silly place, but, there ya have it.

If you want to have individual text tones for different contacts, try installing Go SMS Pro. It's a free app that replaces the stock text messaging app and it's pretty cool. It allows you to set individual contact tones and led notifications, even different message icons for the notification bar.
