Welcome to Android Central! In the Recents list, tap that recent call's avatar (to the left of the listing), not the name or number itself. You'll then see a contact card appear--tap the texting icon to the right of the number. That will open your default SMS app, and you can start texting.

Thanks for the answer!~ I've been trying to figure that out for months.
