Ok, good point! Why would anyone do that? :)
But you still must have a txt record for each real host/domain name.
I tested it, I added these to my domain:
*.goober.watkins-home.com. a 1.2.3.4
guy.goober.watkins-home.com. a 1.2.3.5
*.goober.watkins-home.com. txt "goober"
It works just fine. But the wildcard does not cover
"guy.goober.watkins-home.com."
But you still must have a txt record for each real host/domain name.
Anyone can test them with dig:
# dig a +short a.goober.watkins-home.com.
1.2.3.4
# dig txt +short a.goober.watkins-home.com.
"goober"
# dig a +short guy.goober.watkins-home.com.
1.2.3.5
# dig txt +short guy.goober.watkins-home.com.
No results for the list dig command.

I hope I helped!
Well, you can, must and should do so if you also have for example
*.amazon.com IN A 1.2.3.4
