TextSecure is a replacement for the standard text messaging application, allowing you to send and receive text messages as normal. Additionally, TextSecure provides:

Local Encryption -- All text messages, regardless of destination, that are sent or received with TextSecure are stored in an encrypted database on your phone.
Wire Encryption -- When communicating with a recipient who is also using TextSecure, text messages are encrypted during transmission.
