He really likes to text a lot but doesn't respond to my texts. He is busy at school and seems happy but I just didn't know how long I should wait before I should get worried that he might be traveling down a path of concern.

Without knowing any more, it's difficult to say whether to be worried or not. It could be he just wants some space, has got himself a girlfriend he is embarassed talking to you about, or a million and one other things!
I expect that you are the person in the world who knows your son best. Is it really worrying? Or is it that you're just feeling left out? If things are worrying you, talk it over with friends and family. Try to spend some time with him in a non-threatening way (eg offer to drive him to school or something). Keep texting him, because I'm sure he likes to know you care, but maximum of once a day if he's not replying!
I hope that helps.
I agree with try, it is hard to know with so little information. But it definitely doesnt sound the best.
Could you ask him? Why do you think he is feeling that way? What do you think he would say if he TALKS, not TEXTS you?
People (and not just you), we all need to communicate in real life!
Everyone wonders why things dont happen the way they want, and then they dont speak up or about it--we can't change it if we don't try to verbalize it.
Hopefully he tells you soon, and hopefully it is nothing major.
He may just be in that age where he doesnt want to talk to Mom/Dad that much, unless he does need you.
Best,
