Enclose all your text inside single quotes. Bash won't parse the codes present inside single quotes.

echo '"/ Text Text Text Text Text Text Text \"'

Backslash is a special character in double quotes. In single quotes, it has not special meaning:

echo '"/ Text Text \"'

In double quotes, it's used to escape special characters - and it can escape itself:

echo "/ Text Text \\"
