Text message forwarding

I'm interested in using Messages from my Mac, but my iPhone 11 (running the latest iOS) doesn't display the option to turn on text message forwarding, even though I have a full texting plan. As a result, I can't sent text messages from my laptop.

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 13

Thanks, but I've followed all of the instructions. My problem is that in my Messages settings, I don't have the option to turn on text-message forwarding, as shown in the instructions. The option is just absent. In the instructions, that option is shown as being between Send Read Receipts and Send as SMS, but for me, there's nothing there. Here's a screenshot.
