I’ve done all of that and I’m still not getting any sound.

Try flipping your Silent Switch to turn off silent, if that doesn't work then make sure any focus modes that may silence the texts.

If the texts are still silent I recommend going into Settings >> Messages >> Notifications. And making sure the notifications are as you would expect.

One more thing to try is going under the contact that is texting you and making sure "Hide Alerts" is off.
