Applying Clipping Mask To Several Layers

[siderealxxx]

Hi, I'm applying texture to some text with a clipping mask, but I can only get it to apply to the layer directly below and not several layers (4 in this instance). I can do it by converting the text layers to a smart object but then I can't edit. Any ideas? Thanks!

Select all the text layers and put them in a group. Then clip your texture layer to the group. It will affect all of the text layers inside the group. The text layers don't need to be smart objects. Just normal text.
