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.

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.
Best,

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.
