Transferring text messages to new phone

Ok, I'm new here, but been on multiple forums for many years, so I know the importance of using the search feature. I find it hard to believe this hasn't been asked, or maybe I'm not using the right search terms. Either way, here goes.

I recently upgraded from an HTC 1 (M7) to a Galaxy S5. I need to transfer my text messages from the HTX to the Galaxy. How do I do this? I've read multiple threads about how the messages are stored in some type of secured folder on the phone, but not sure exactly where on either phone. If I had the exact location of the files, could I simply hook up both phones to a PC and "drop and drag" from one phone to the other ?

Download Samsung Smart Switch form the Play Store on both phones. It'll give you the option to transfer text messages (among other things) to your new phone.
