Why won't text messages send when there's an attachment

When I try texting a message with an attachment it says it's Sending but never sends. Is there a setting that got changed? My Moto G just recently had a system update so could that have caused the issue?

Welcome to Android Central! Is your mobile data turned on? Attaching anything to a text automatically makes it an MMS message, which requires mobile data.
