    How old is the textured ceiling, and do you know if it contains asbestos?

    As talaniman said, make sure this is not a popcorn with asbestos in it and then you plastic off the area (floor/walls), wet the ceiling and then use a scraper or trowel to scrape the popcorn off...should be that simple!

    They sell a large pole scraper at home depot...might speed removal for you.

    Good luck!
