How do i find where my text messages are stored on my GalaxyS5

[AC Question]

I want to know if my text messages are stored anywhere on my Samsung Galaxy S5

Welcome to Android Central! SMS messages are stored in an SQLite database in a protected directory. You won't be able to access them (unless you root the phone).

Or run an app like SMS Backup & Restore (produces xml files) or SMS to Text (produces plain text files).

I just did a FR on DH's phone and can't find where to install/import the cvs file that contains his text messages. I have a copy on the SD card and on my computer. When I click on "my files" and navigate to the SD card, I can seethe csv file...it's named "contacts" but I created it in the default message app by choosing "save messages". Hope someone can tell me where to install this csv file so I can get his text messages back
