I would advise giving him some time to cool off before texting him. Continuing to argue won’t help but at the same time brushing the problem under the carpet and changing the conversation or being nice will probably irritate him even more; especially if he is intent on continuing being in a bad mood.
It also depends on why he is mad; if it is something you have done obviously once he has cooled off you need to apologise and explain the reasons for your actions. It’s probably best not to try and justify your actions or try and put the blame on him if you are trying to stop him being angry, as this won’t help. If he is angry because you have got into an argument which isn’t your fault; it may be worth just leaving him to have a think about how irrational the fight is and then text him with a general comment, for example ask him if he has had a good day. This way, if he has realised he was being silly he doesn’t have to feel like he is backing down or making the first move by texting you.
Although all couples argue; if this is a regular occurrence it may be worth looking into your relationship. Frequent petty disagreements which result in explosive arguments or other unhealthy behaviours are usually a sign of an underlying problem. There could be a number of different underlying issues such as jealousy, trust, drug-related paranoia, fear of commitment, putting up barriers and anger problems to name just a few. If this is believed to be the case, the underlying problem will need to be dealt with otherwise things will only get worse.
Options which could help in these circumstances could include drink/drug advice, couples counselling, temporary break up or even just talking about the underlying problem rather than the issue he got mad about.
