How do I copy a TextObject to a new headless document?

This script works perfectly for curves but not for Text Objects - how do i handle them?

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Rhino;

var mainDoc = RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc;
var selectedObjects = mainDoc.Objects.GetSelectedObjects(false, false);

var newDoc = RhinoDoc.CreateHeadless(null);

foreach (var obj in selectedObjects) {
    var newGeom = obj.Geometry.Duplicate();
    newDoc.Objects.Add(newGeom);
}

newDoc.SaveAs(@"C:\temp\TextExport.3dm");

Ah! i think i need to copy the dimension styles first? is that the correct process?

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Rhino;

var mainDoc = RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc;
var selectedObjects = mainDoc.Objects.GetSelectedObjects(false, false);

var newDoc = RhinoDoc.CreateHeadless(null);

// first copy dimension styles?
foreach(var s in mainDoc.DimStyles) {
    var s2 = s.Duplicate();
    newDoc.DimStyles.Add(s2,false);
}

// then copying text objects appears to work
foreach (var obj in selectedObjects) {
    var newGeom = obj.DuplicateGeometry();
    newDoc.Objects.Add(newGeom);
}

newDoc.SaveAs(@"C:\temp\TextExport.3dm");
