I have the business account I use at Chase Bank set to TXT me any time a transaction over $125 takes place.  
This is handy, and while it is a nice fraud feature, sometimes charges come through on a delayed basis and could wake me up.  
Is there some way to make TXT messages from a given number silent, or a different sound, etc?

Add Chase Bank’s number to your contact list, and from there, there should be an option for custom ringtone/notification.

Hmmm.  
Added.  
I hit the ‘menu’ button (bottom left hard button on phone).  
I get Edit Contact or Options.  
Under Options, I get:  
Ringtone: (lets me set their ringtone)  
Incoming calls: (check this to send calls directly to voicemail)

I’ll see if checking ‘Incoming Calls’ fixes their TXTs making noise.

If you use Handscent SMS you can set custom ringtones for contacts’ text, including a “silent” option.
