Hello nlewis589,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you're attempting to recover deleted text messages. I'd be happy to provide information that may help.
You may be able to recover your messages from a backup that was made during that time. If you were using iCloud Backup to store messages and were not using Messages in iCloud at the time of your backup, you can restore from that backup in an attempt to recover your missing messages.
If you were using Messages in iCloud during that time, deleting the messages from your device would delete the messages from iCloud. You can find more information here: Get help with Messages in iCloud.
Take care.
