i'll text when i get home vs i'll text you when i got home

The correct phrase is "I'll text when I get home." Using "get" in the present tense is appropriate because arriving home is expected to happen in the future. The use of "got" in the second phrase is wrong as it refers to a past action, which is inappropriate in this context.
