Check out the section in this link about Text Messages: Use Continuity to connect your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch - Apple Support


Please note you MUST have an iPhone for your number to be used. If you don't have an iPhone, you won't be reachable at your number or be able to send from your number. This link will help you as well: How to forward text messages on your iPhone - Apple Support
