How can I check my Daughters text messages?  Her boyfriend is not the kind of boy I want her seeing but she is young and doesn't know what she wants.

You would have to look at her phone.

We appreciate you taking the time to reach out to us, joejoejohnson. I personally know what it is like to be concerned about the choices that our children make. Aside from taking the phone to view the messages, I think you would appreciate the options that Verizon Messages provides.

It is very simple.
depending on how old she is.  If she is a minor, then the phone is technically your property and under contract with you. If she is older then 18 then you could have some legal issues in trying to do this.

Either way, you can install SMS Backup on her phone or one of the other SMS apps.  SMS Backup will save a copy of every text message to a gmail account and you can simply read them from gmail.

I am not going to lecture on the ethical or legal part of this as I do track my son (for various reasons) with this (with 100% knowledge on his side)

Actually that's partly true. Some states that will violate privacy regardless of age. If the child agrees beforehand in order to get a cell phone they are subject to inspection then it's free and clear. Double check your laws beforehand.
