Assuming you do not house your text messages in iCloud, they are saved on your iPhone backups. Restore your latest backup to retrieve the messages that were present when the backup was created.

You will not be able to retrieve any deleted texts unless you restore your iPhone from a backup that you may have created. The other thing is that if you restore your iPhone from a backup then your texts will only be as current as the day and time the backup was created. 

If you choose to restore your iPhone from a back that you may have created then here is how to do it-->>Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support
