Nope, I haven't had to install Play for Textsecure at all, and I don't
use or have a personal Google account. When it offers to set up data
channel, just skip it, and TS reverts to encrypting over SMS instead.
Redphone also has a "no google" mode where it announces incoming calls
to other RP users with a simultaneous SMS, but I've found it to be very
buggy in my builds; calls connect but no sound transmitted, etc.
As far as "where to get it", here's a copy:

This is an older build by now. Frankly I'm holding out for a JS build of
Textsecure and I'll probably try FFOS, then. FDroid and Textsecure are
my "killer apps" tying me to Android. I just wish Moxie would let them
play nice together.

Where can TextSecure be downloaded?
Best workaround I've found so far if you want to download Google Play
APKs on your computer and then transfer them to your phone manually is
Raccoon:

Requires java along with a 'dummy' Google account, but gets the job done
with the least amount of hassle.
Unfortunately, it appears that TextSecure still requires the Google
Services framework to be installed and running on the Android device.
Haven't figured out yet how to do this manually this without installing
Google Play.
Also, FWIW, you can (or at least you used to be able to) manually remove
a Google account from an Android phone without having to factory reset
the device.
