Are you signed-in to iCloud with the same AppleID on both your iPad and iPhone? You would be well advised to verify that Text Message Forwarding is explicitly enabled for your iPad on your iPhone.


On your iPhone:

Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding - set to ON - and explicitly enable your iPad from the list of devices.


Also ensure that Messages in iCloud is enabled on both your iPhone and iPad:

Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > Messages - set to ON
