If you do a search of the forum, you will find a number of recommendations. Many are dependent on your situation. There are also a number of solutions posted in news sites with the description of the problem. Here is one report. http://www.macrumors.com/2015/05/26/ios-bug-crashing-iphones-with-text-message/
People can try this:
1) Settings>Messages> Turn iMessage off
2) Use Siri to send a message to yourself and if possible the person who sent you the problematic text message
3) Settings>Messages> Turn iMessage on
4) Open Messages and delete the conversation that has the message in it.
5) If you still can't open Messages go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
6) Sign back into your Wifi Network
7) Try to open Messages again and it should work
