[Q] Force Google Now (Search app) to send SMS via Google Voice topic

Hello,

Due to the pervasiveness of Google Voice Threads and Google Now threads and the difficulty of searching specific critera with generic terms, I created this thread. If a similar one exists, please redirect me.

I would like a way to force all my Google Now (Google Search) verbally generated SMS to be sent through my Google Voice number instead of the phone's carrier number. Sending texts through Google now in a vechicle is ideal. I also don't want the mistake of accedently sending a message through my non-google number. Currently Hangouts is my choice for messaging/SMS after Google integrated Google Voice with the Hangout's Dialer App. I use Google Voice for everything and have no desire to have my carrier number known by anyone at all. That being said, I use FreedomPop as my provider, so the assigned Sprint number is worthless anyhow as is. Nevertheless, I imagine many folks want this integration, so perhaps there is a way.

Bottom Line: How can you force all generated SMS to be directed through Google Voice instead of the default carrier number?

I use a ported version of GPE on my Sprint S4, so rooted apps are open for consideration. Voice+ built into CyanogenMod may allow this intended function, but I await feedback concerning this idea. I would like not to switch ROMs for this feature set.
