Account you texted with price, right? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

accurate

'right?' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'account you texted with price' is the wordplay.
'account' becomes 'acc'.
'you texted' becomes 'U' (text abbreviation for 'you').
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'price' becomes 'rate' (I've seen this in other clues).
'acc'+'u'+'rate'='ACCURATE'

(Other definitions for accurate that I've seen before include "Bang on" , "Correct, right" , "Meticulous" , "carefully and precisely" , "Absolutely correct" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
