Copy and paste a Text-Layer to another picture - Its not a Textlayer more

Question

Hello,
i tried to copy a text-layer from one psd-Picture and i want to paste it into  other pictures:
var dok_textebene = app.documents.getByName ("text.psd");
dok_textebene.artLayers["name of the textlayer"] .copy() ;           
//chage to a other picture
app.activeDocument =  otherpictureRef ;
app.activeDocument.paste ();
//  this is ok, i could copy & paste the layer
// But it is not any more a text-layer
//then i tried this code to change the state of the layer to a text-layer
app.activeDocument.activeLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT ;
But this was not aible, i get an error.
Does anybody know how i could copy and paste a text-layer ?
Thanks

It might be better to duplicate the text IE:
var currentDoc = app.activeDocument;
var dok_textebene = app.documents.getByName ("text.psd");
app.activeDocument = dok_textebene;
activeDocument.activeLayer = activeDocument.artLayers.getByName('name of the textlayer');
activeDocument.activeLayer.duplicate(currentDoc);
