Text points to autocad convert to a points

I had a similar request in the past and I think this is the best solution for your problem.

Do you already have the correct elevation? No? Ok, follow this: Modify Ribbon -> Ground Data -> Surface.

You will find dropdown menu and select 'Move Text To Elevation'. Now you need to select your 2D text and it will became z-value. 

In the 'Definitions' you'll add 'Drawing objects' -> object type 'Text'.

It is not necessary to convert the text to points but if you want to do it you can use the 'planning and analysis' and use the map-functionality to do it. You will find more info here.
