Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. I see no one has responded to your post yet. I am happy to help!

The purpose of the Do Not Disturb feature is to silence all calls, messages, etc. However, the only way to receive text notifications is if you have certain contacts listed as a "Favorite". Otherwise, your notifications will remain silenced until DND is turned off.

Here's an article for reference: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204321

To add a contact as a "Favorite", launch the Contact app, select a contact, and click "Add to Favorites".

Hope this helps!
