Best choice: Send an email message to her boss about her concern.
Why: an email to the manager is a professional, documented way to escalate a serious, recurring performance problem. Avoid texting (too informal), avoid complaining to coworkers (unproductive and unprofessional), and never send an angry email to the teammate.
Also recommended (before or along with escalation): talk with the teammate privately and factually about missed deadlines, document examples, offer help or suggest solutions, and if the behavior doesn’t change, then raise the documented concern with the manager.
