Why can't I send a picture with a text message?

Do you have mobile data turned on with a data signal? Can not send MMS over wifi.

Also you can't send a picture larger than 1MB (some carriers limit you to smaller files). Anything from 1MB to 25MB you send via email. Anything larger than 25MB you post on a cloud account public folder and text or email the link to it.

Android OS up to 4.4 allowed text apps to turn data on to receive pictures and then turn it off, ever since android 5.0 they took that feature out.
