Is there a way to display unread text messages on the lockscreen?

The device I'm using is a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus.

If you were to download and use an alternate lockscreen like WidgetLocker, this would be possible. It would enable you to place a widget on your lockscreen that shows you unread messages, though you might have to get that widget separately if you're not using a third party SMS app already. If you're just looking for a count of unread messages, you could use something like Ultimate Custom Clock Widget too.

You can use SMSPopup which will allow it to show up on top of any application, including your lockscreen (it can even turn your phone on for a few seconds so you can see the pop up).

Handcent also has a SMSPopup like ability. And GoSMS too.

Popover lockscreen for SMS is exactly why I use and love Handcent. – Zooks64 May 24 '12 at 13:37
