How do I engage with someone over text? I have this person that I want to get to know better, but I don't have the time to approach her in real life. I'll explain more if someone asks, but it boils down to this. I want to know how to initiate conversation with someone over text, and I think if I just messaged her out of the blue I would come off as weird.
Also, have a picture of my dog for your trouble.

You just gotta do it often. Over Snapchat will be best, and most girls are very apt to give you theirs after a decent conversation. It helps if your decently attractive but isn't necessary.

Also, it goes without saying you have to workout at the gym and maximize as much time as you can face to face with her.

Someday some genius is going to invent a handheld gizmo that looks a little like a texter, but that you can actually talk to people through, using your voice and words and like that.

One day people are going to stop pretending like the evolution of the ways in which people communicate is invalid and somehow the older way is always preferable to everyone.

Consider this: If you have no means of approaching her in real life or some other non-text channels, "messaging her out of the blue" is what it invariably boils down to.

It was OP who implied that an acoustic kind of conversation would be preferable to text.

It is perfectly fine to text someone out of the blue. It's not weird at all.
If you don't want to start with the classic "hey, how are you?" every time, just tell her about something funny that happened to you or a comment about something you've seen/read. Gives a topic to talk about.
If it's the first time you text, a nice "Hey, I'm Anon from X. How are you?" might be the best.

I understand that it's not weird per say, but I imagine it's a sort of "It's not creepy if you're hot" thing. And, although decent, I am far from hot.

That's a pretty funny joke, mang.

I can barely work up the nerve to text her. Calling isn't in the cards right now.

Even just some regular exercise at home will make you feel better about yourself and more suited for physicality, which can be a very rewarding facet of a relationship

No, it isn't.
Unless they don't want to talk to you at all, it's not weird to text someone you know and chat.
Do it, stop overthinking.
