Hi emorway,
It is possible, but you would have to look at the code for soil.texture 
and get the values from the internal function triax.segments. Then you 
could test the values to see into which of these little polygons they 
fell. A rather laborious task. Perhaps someone who does a lot of soil 
analysis has already done this.
