Copying a layer with a small text on various images?

Hi. Can you please help me? I wrote a short text on a layer, on Photoshop CS6. The text is in a particular place in the image. Now I want to just copy it on other images so that it ends up in that same place. Every image has the same dimensions. I tried by opening side by side the two images, select the layer with the text, and grab and drop it on the other one. It did copy the layer on the second file, but it placed the text where I let go the mouse-button. Can you please tell me how can I do it?

Thank you in advance. I've learned a lot on this forum!

Copy the area using any of the selection tools and then use Paste in Place( Ctrl+Shift+V / Ctrl+Cmd+V).
This will paste it into the same place where it was copied from...Even if you paste it into another document. But make sure the dimensions of the document/image are the same.

Here are different paste options: - https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/moving-copying-deleting-selected-pixels.html
If there are many images of the same dimensions, you can use Actions.

Hope its ok I jump in here, but this sure sounds like a watermark kinda thing right? why not create a new file, the size you will use for your images, put your text where it should be, then save that as your master file. Simply open any image, copy, open this text file and paste. It will cover the text, so go to layers and drag that layer under your text layer.
OR.... if you have all your images, paste them all into that same document, put the text layer on top, and save each one. Just turn off the top image, the next image will be visible, save again, and like that.
