My iPad no longer has connection with any text messages that I want to send to any of my contacts.
It used to be where I would get the text messages on my iPad and on my iPhone so if I did not have my phone with me I would still be able to get my texts on my iPad. How do I bring that back?
Your iPad is not a cellular telephone. It has no SMS text message capability whatsoever, even if you have a cellular data model.
The iPad can send/receive iMessages to/from other Apple devices. It can also use your iPhone in a Handoff mode to send/receive SMS text messages. But the iPhone must be involved.
See "SMS and MMS" here.
Use Continuity to connect your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch - Apple Support
Make sure that your iPhone has "Text Message Forwarding" still turned on on the iPhone, and that the iPad is still turned on: Settings>Messages>Text Message Forwarding>turn on the button next to your iPad in the list.

That choice does not exist in my iPad settings anything else that you may think that is a problem with it?
Also I noticed that any person dogs outside of iPad iPhone cannot be reached with a text message from the iPad

Correct, there is no setting like that on your iPad. That is why I told you to make sure your iPhone had that setting. The messages need to be forwarded from the iPhone to the other devices.
