Assuming that both your iPad and iPhone are signed-in to iCloud with the same AppleID - disable Text Message Forwarding for your iPad on your iPhone...

On your iPhone:

Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding - set to OFF - or explicitly disable your iPad from the list of devices.

Also ensure that Messages in iCloud is disabled on your iPad:

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