You can try blocking the senders, though spam text messages often come from different numbers.
If they are coming from email addresses as opposed to phone numbers, contact your carrier and ask them to block messages coming through their email to text gateway.
Finally, you can go to Settings>Messages and turn on "Filter Unknown Senders".
That will keep messages from anyone not in your contacts from notifying you and sort them out into a separate list.
