Hi 1937-,
If your iPhone is locked and your Apple Watch is unlocked, or on your wrist, you'll receive the text message notifications on your watch. Notifications on your Apple Watch explains, with great visuals.
Where notifications appear
Notifications appear on your Apple Watch or iPhone, but not both.
If your iPhone is unlocked, you get notifications on your iPhone instead of your Apple Watch.
If your iPhone is locked or asleep, you get notifications on your Apple Watch, unless your Apple Watch is locked.
Kindest Regards.
