The process of selecting a text value at random from a given list can be done in many programming languages, but here is a general process that can be followed:

  1. Create a list of text values.
  2. Generate a random number within the range of the list indices.
  3. Retrieve the text value at the index corresponding to the random number generated in step 2.
  4. Return the selected text value.

For example, in Python, you can use the random module to select a text value at random from a list:

import random

my_list = ['apple', 'banana', 'orange', 'pear']

random_index = random.randint(0, len(my_list) - 1)
random_text = my_list[random_index]

print(random_text)

This code will print out one of the four text values in the list my_list at random.
