A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that's associated with an Internet domain as a DNS record for one purpose or another.

Another purpose of a TXT record is to confirm that an e mail message is sent by the domain name owner and from a trusted server - this is the so-called SPF security, that prevents any electronic address created under your domain name to be forged and unauthorized individuals to send out junk mail making it appear like it was sent from your own mailbox. You could include any other info which you want to be associated with your domain in a TXT record as well.
