Can you explain what you mean by "ruin the texture"? Wouldn't the
texture come back as the soil dries out?

Not necessarily. For example in clay soils with little organic
matter, if you work wet soil it will ball up and it would be very
difficult to break up all the clumps. In friable soil, it's easier to
break clumps, but it's work.
