How would you approach someone on via text you've recently had a bit of a misunderstanding with? Parted on not so grand terms. I've been half tempted to simply write 'can I talk with you' leaving the ball in their court as they say.

It depends. If I don't have to have a relationship with that person, I don't contact them again. But if it is somebody I do have to interact with, like a relative, then the next time I reach out to them, it will be for their benefit. For example, my next text would be, "How are you?" And I would not bring up the last conversation again.
It depends on what your relationship with them was. Were you friends, acquaintances, dating...? And how large was the misunderstanding?
Would something like, "Hey, I miss talking to you! Do you have time for a phone call today?" work?
I also tend to overthink these types of situations... I would say that most of the time, the other person has forgotten about the incident or never brings it up. It depends on what happened, though; trading a snarky remark or two in an otherwise friendly relationship would probably be forgiven and forgotten without really discussing it. Or maybe a "sorry our last conversation ended on a poor note." Having an affair with your friend's spouse would require a different approach.
