What kind of text messages?

If they are SMS messages, turn off message forwarding on your iPhone.

If they are iMessage messages, check Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on both devices to see what addresses each is set to receive.

If you don't want your iPad to receive or send messages at all, turn off messages altogether at Settings > Messages > iMessage on your iPad.
