Can I get notifications of text messages from contacts while Do Not Disturb is active on iPhone 5?

[iMore Question]

I set Do Not Disturb on so I don't hear my phone ding all night as emails come in but I would like to be able to get notification of text messages either from my contacts or maybe just my favorites. This would be sHort of like the setting "Allow Calls From"

My suggestion would be to provide feedback to Apple:
Apple - iPhone - Feedback

In the mean time, send out a group text message alerting your "favorites" to call during your DND time, rather than text.
