My phone only keeps 100-200 texts in a string...where are all the texts prior to the most recent 100-200? Is there a way to 'get them back'?

What phone do you have?
Welcome to Android Forums!
If you have limits set, they are automatically deleted.
Go to Messaging and hit the 3 dots (menu) then select Settings. Make sure that "Delete old messages" is UNCHECKED. That way, you won't lose old texts... HOWEVER unlimited texts will eventually eat up a lot of system memory (not user memory) and cause problems later.
I recommend SMS Cleaner in the Google Store (formerly known as Play). You can clean by person or time and selectively delete old messages. I hope this helps.
It's great to have you here
