Final Answer :
True
Explanation :
According to the principle of the "mailbox rule", an acceptance is valid and creates a binding contract the moment it is sent, even if it is not received by the offeror until later. Therefore, Cruz's text acceptance creates an enforceable agreement with Alberto from June 7 onwards, regardless of the delay in its delivery.
