vba textures?

Do you mean VBO? (Vertex Buffer Objects)

I looked up vbo's but I cant seem to find any examples where they use textures with the quads. So if I want to use texture will I have to use immediate mode?

I think your question is how to draw a polygon with texture, but other than in immediate mode. If so, please look for Vertex Array (VA) and VBO.

You can store st (uv) texture coordinates into a VBO or Vertex Array (VA) along with other vertex information, such as position, colour, normals, etc. But, actual texels are still in OpenGL texture object.

But I am confused on how to use a vertex array or vbo with textures.

So would I just call glbindtexture before I call something like glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES, 0, VertexCount);?

In order to bind a texture, you call glBindTexture. I think that's obvious and also there are plenty of examples on the net.
