Hello Ajukeman,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. We understand you want set up automatic replies for text messages and we'll explain.
Since text messages have to go through the carrier which requires a connection to the iPhone for the iPhone to send a reply back (even if automated), this would not be possible from the device itself. The carrier might have these types of features. Reach out to them directly for more information.
Sharing the Focus status before you go on vacation for iMessage users might be helpful: Use Focus on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Take care!
