The only way to get deleted texts back is if you have a backup from before you deleted the texts. And you can't just get the deleted texts. You'd have to restore your phone from that backup, which will overwrite anything since you made the backup. If you have backed up since you deleted the texts, they are gone.

As a last resort, you can always ask the recipient of the texts to forward them back to you.

if one backup to iCloud then one likely need to restore the backup on an iOS device
When I go to icloud storage I see the back ups and text input why can't I just download that?
It doesn't let me just look at the text input?
That's correct. Backups are all or nothing and you can not just look at text messages. It's something we've Apple may be working on for a future update, but at this time this is how it works.
