Recover deleted text messages on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
If you’re running a lesser iOS version, the only way that you can recover a deleted text is if you have them in your backup. You would have to restore the backup to recover the texts. Restoring a backup overwrites the current data on the phone and you will lose any data acquired after the date of the backup.
