Alright so I switch phones alot, in the past it was a hassle, but now I strictly use google voice for calls and texts, I know i can use my phones integrated phone app to make calls, but is there any way to use android messages or any other sms app for that matter to send and receive google voice text messages?

Android Messages only supports outgoing texts for the number provided by your carrier. You're going to need to use Hangouts or the Google Voice app to send SMS/MMS via your GV number.
