A clause is a group of words that has a subject and a predicate. An independent clause expresses a complete thought and can stand alone as a sentence. A dependent clause does not express a complete thought and therefore cannot stand alone as a complete sentence.
Don't forget to text me is an independent clause because it is a complete thought and could be a sentence on its own.
