If you are using iCloud for Messages, then there is currently no way to recover a deleted text message.
If you are not using iCloud for Messages, or the message was received before you turned that feature on, the message may be contained in a previous iCloud backup.
You would have to erase your device, then restore it to the iCloud backup where you think the message is contained in order to recover it. Remember, however, that restoring your device to an earlier version results in the device being put back into the exact state it was in at that earlier point in time. Any changes since then would be overwritten:

Thanks Gail. You've answered my question. Too bad there's no feature as with emails and voicemails where you can look in the trash and recover them. I guess if it were more important, I would follow the above steps. Thanks again.
You are most welcome!
