I can't seem to move photos from text messages to my camera gallery. When I do a long hold on the balloon surounding the actual photo, several options come up. None of them say "save to gallery" or "save to sd card" as was suggested on other forums. There is one option that says "save picture," but when I click that option I have no idea where the pic has gone. It is not in the gallery. If it is saved in my phone storage or on my sd card, I still have no idea how to access either of them.

I want to have some pics printed at my local CVS, but they tell me the pics must be in my gallery first. They cannot print from my text messages
or my email (where I can send them to if needed). Help would be appreciated.

They may go to a downloads folder or a text messaging folder. Try downloading quickpic from the play store. It is free and it sees all photos on your entire phone.

i dont have this phone but you may want to look for a folder called "downloads" (or similar) and see if they went there.

I know the answer to this. In your text messaging settings, select multimedia and then attachment storage. Make sure the sd card option is checked. Then it will save to the card when you press on the pic.
