Is there a way to only transfer text messages when getting a new iphone

I want to start off fresh, but I don't want to lose text messages...When I restore from backup, it forces you to download all your old apps from your old phone.

Cant you download all message through itunes then add them back in?

It's not the exact answer you're looking for, but a different option would be to backup and store the text messages instead of transferring them to your new phone. You could use a program like iExplorer to extract your text message history and export each conversation as a PDF, so it can be stored and referenced in the future.
I had a 10+ year iOS install I recently decided to backup/archive and start from scratch and that's the path I chose to take.

Use iCloud.
Turn everything off except text and back it up. Then restore on the new phone.

Just did this on my wife's phone for everything. Took 2 days to upload everything into the cloud (including pictures). Took about 2 hours to restore it on the new phone.
I searched and found that Apple allows you unlimited space on iCloud for like 5 days to transfer everything. I was impressed at how easy it was.
