Can't see text for menu in unity with a texture placed

Questions & Answers

So I’m creating a menu in Unity and I had a canvas set up to show some text necessary to navigate the menu. My problem arises with the following script that I put on my camera:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class MenuDisplayScript : MonoBehaviour {

	public Texture backgroundTexture;

	void OnGUI(){

		//Display our background Texture
		GUI.DrawTexture (new Rect (0, 0, Screen.width, Screen.height), backgroundTexture);

	}

}

The image I have in this script seems to go over the text in the menu, so what am I doing wrong?

The GUI class represents the old GUI system, which goes over the new one. You don’t want to use them together generally. Stick to the new GUI system by creating a background image object.
