How to Set a Text Message Signature for an HTC Android Device
The stock messaging application included with the HTC Android phones doesn't support the use of signatures for SMS text messages. You can, however, download an application to handle your text messages and set up a signature to go out with your text messages. Some third-party messaging apps that support the use of signatures are Handscent SMS, ChompSMS and Go SMS. These apps will work on any HTC Android device.

Tips & Warnings
Handscent and Go SMS support creating signatures for specific people in your contact list. Long-press on the contact from within the app and choose the message settings option. From there you can enter a signature for that person alone.
