I have a dxf file which was converted from a CAD file. I used QGIS to convert it to a shp file…
This is when I realized that the text associated with the drawing is actually a separate layer…
What I need is one layer where the text is in the attribute table.
What would best the best way to accomplish this?

There is quite a bit of missing information in your question.
Despite that here are some ideas.
1. I will assume your data is polygon. You should attempt to export the cad file as polygon and point files seperately.
The text will be your point file with the label point as the location. and the string value as an attribute.
2. use a spatial join (arcmap term) to join the attributes of the points to the polygons.
