When you think you woke up and sent a text, that was a FA - false awakening. If you start doing RC every time you get up from a bed, you will sooner or later start catching them.
I think only thing you need to get you lucid is more awareness. Start praciticing Daytime awareness. Together with RCs and mantras, it will highten your chances at becoming lucid.
And having a dream journal is essential. Good job on that.
