Unfortunatly I don' think you can have closeboxes with a Text layer.
Indeed, the Text layer uses feature.createPopup()  as opposed to
feature.createPopup(true). What you can do is create a class that
inherits from OpenLayers.Layer.Text and overrides the markerClick()
method - something along these lines (*untested*) :

EnhancedTextLayer = OpenLayers.Class.create();
EnhancedTextLayer.prototype = OpenLayers.Class.inherit( OpenLayers.Layer.Test, {

 	    /**
 	     * @param {Event} evt
 	     */
 	    markerClick: function(evt) {
 	        sameMarkerClicked = (this == this.layer.selectedFeature);
 	        this.layer.selectedFeature = (!sameMarkerClicked) ? this : null;
 	        for(var i=0; i < this.layer.map.popups.length; i++) {
 	            this.layer.map.removePopup(this.layer.map.popups[i]);
 	        }
 	        if (!sameMarkerClicked) {
 	            this.layer.map.addPopup(this.createPopup(true));
 	        }
 	        OpenLayers.Event.stop(evt);
 	    },

 	    /** @final @type String */
 	    CLASS_NAME: "EnhancedTextLayer"
}

Hope this helps...
