There is no TextDrawGetString function or anything like that.
However, it can be easily done by creating a global string variable for your textdraw, then changing it's content as well and using TextDrawSetString at the same time, you would always naturally have the string of the textdraw..

1) use YSF - it adds a lot of "missing" natives - including TextDrawGetString()
2) hook TextDrawSetString and store text in a variable, eg:

Code:
#define MAX_TEXTDRAW_STRING_LEN 128

static g_TextDrawText[MAX_TEXT_DRAWS][MAX_TEXTDRAW_STRING_LEN];

stock TextDrawGetString(Text:textid, string[], size = sizeof(string))
{
	string[0] = '\0';
	strcat(string, g_TextDrawText[_:textid], size);
	return 1;
}

stock TDGS_TextDrawSetString(Text:textid, string[])
{
	g_TextDrawText[_:textid][0] = '\0';
	strcat(g_TextDrawText[_:textid], string, MAX_TEXTDRAW_STRING_LEN);
	return TextDrawSetString(textid, string);
}

#if defined _ALS_TextDrawSetString
    #undef TextDrawSetString
#else
    #define _ALS_TextDrawSetString
#endif
#define TextDrawSetString TDGS_TextDrawSetString

@Spmn: You'd also have to hook TextdrawCreate because TextDrawSetString may not be used.
