If you dont show him, then he found out later, it will look suspicious. I would tell him.

 I don't think it's necessary but I would do it anyway.
I'm a huge believer in full disclosure

 I think you should tell him. Don't make it such a serious matter but just bring up that this random guy texted you from way back. If I was in your bf's position I would just laugh about it and let it go. By doing this it shows that you have nothing to hide. If you don't and he finds out then something that means nothing turns into an unnecessary issue.

I would tell him. I imagine lots of women will say not to because it's your business and you have handled it - until the day he somehow finds out. Then you will have made things worse by keeping secrets. Tell him exactly what you told us.

If he were to start texting you again and acting inappropriate, then I'd say tell your boyfriend that the guy is harassing you. But the guy seemed to get the hint, so you might as well just leave it be.
