Hi, I am new to all this. My android phone cracked (black screen, not usable) and I am not able to fix or replace it right now, but I desperately need to access some text msgs from that phone. I'm wondering if I can log into my Gmail account on my PC and read the backed up text messages on the PC? Thanks.

You would only be able to access those text messages which were successfully backed up to your gmail account before the phone stopped working. They are usually saved with a label of "SMS" applied to them, but if you don't have that label in your gmail then you could search for them in "All Mail".
