Is there an app that will text back the location of a cell phone over text message for android?

Root is acceptable.

One possible solution is to use Automate application. You can create flow to get current location and send it via SMS.

Unfortunately I do not have first hand experience but the application seems self-explained.

You could use SMS my GPS. Per the app's description, it should meet your requirements just fine:

SMS my GPS listens for incoming SMS text/data messages and conditionally sends an automatic reply containing GPS location data. The „trigger-word“ and white-listed sender phone number can be configured in the app.

With just 190k APK size it's quite handy. Haven't tried it myself, so I cannot tell how reliable it works – but as it's free and open source, certainly worth giving it a try.
