If you have back up your text messages, you can restore from the backup.

To restore information from a backup, use one of the following methods after connecting your iOS device to the computer with which you normally sync:
1. Right-click (or Control-click) the device and choose Restore from Backup
2. If you have a new phone, you can connect to iTunes and it will prompt to restore from your backup

If you have no backup for your data on iPhone, iPhone data recovery software is your last shot! I used Tenorshare iPhone Data Recovery and it worked well. Download it from http://www.any-data-recovery.com/product/iphone-data-recovery.html It's easy to use. Just a few clicks you can get all your data back.

It is not possible to retrieve messages from your iPhone if you have deleted the messages or the conversation. If you haven't, you should be able to scroll up to the top of the message screen and tap the "view older messages" button.
