getting texts off a broken phone

[AC Question]

my s4 screen is shot. i dropped it and it won't work. the phone turns on and i was able to get my pictures off by linking it to my laptop via a cable. Is there anyway to get my texts off of it onto my laptop? I have some locked texts that i really would like to keep. any information about downloading as much from the phone as possible would be greatly appreciated. Valerie
