I gave my daughter my iPad and I don’t want it paired to my phone anymore. How do I unpair so she can’t delete my photos and read my texts?
iPad mini 6 Wi-Fi, Cellular
Your daughter needs to have her own Apple ID. You should not share one.
Before you gave the iPad to your daughter, this is what should have been done --> What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Then set up the iPad as a new device and set your daughter up with her own Apple ID. You can use Family Sharing to share content with her --> Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support
And if she is a minor, you can use Parental Controls to control the content she can see or use --> Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Do the "should have" now per the directions in the link I provided on what to do before you sell or give away your device. You'll erase the device per the directions in that link. Then set up the iPad a new device for your daughter under her own unique Apple ID.
So I wish I did the should have done. What do I do if I didn’t do the should have?
I have an iPad to my daughter and it is paired to my phone. I no longer want her to be able to delete my photos and read my texts. How do I unpair? Thanks!
