I'm on Version 15.4. There are a couple of people that I can't send a message from Messages on my computer. They use text messages. Is the problem because they are not Mac users, but PC users? I can only contact them with Messages on my iPhone.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 15.4

I finally had to enable Messagaes in iCloud because no matter where I looked, following your instructions, there was no option to click on Text Forwarding.
You will find that option on your iPhone in Settings>Apps>Messages>Text Message Forwarding.
