Restoring from one of your old iTunes backups will indeed place text messages back on your iPhone 5. It will also restore ALL the other data contained in that backup to your iPhone, so just make sure you realize that before going that route. If you need to simply recover deleted text messages from your backup, you can try a software program that offers text / iMessage recovery features. I've used Decipher TextMessage in the past for recovery and it has worked well.

I successfully recovered more than 1200 messages from my iPhone 5s using the tool introduced on this link:

It’s a paid software, however, you can preview the found data after the scanning with the free trial version.

I’m not sure whether it will be helpful for you. It’s suggested to have a try.
