You have to go into your settings of your messaging app to set up how you want your notifications. If you got to the bottom of the settings menu there is an option to change your ringtone and one of the choices is "silent". Should be what you're looking for

I think you misunderstand: I want to be notified by my chosen ringtone when I get a text.
However, if I'm in the middle of something (ex: talking to boss, driving the car) I would like to be able to reach into my pocket and press a button to silence the ringer instead of pulling the phone out, sliding it to unlock, and sliding down the notifications tab.
In my past LG phones I could just hit the volume button on the side of the phone and it would silence the ringer, but that doesn't seem to work on the Droid.
