My Mom's Texts

When I first got my MacBook Air, I signed into my mom's Apple ID because we shared it. I just created my own Apple ID and switched my MacBook and iPhone X over to it. However, I am receiving texts from both my phone and hers on my MacBook. How do I change that so I only receive my texts?

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.15
