I see no handles.
I cannot edit text. 
If I rasterize tex I still cannot edit nor do I see handles.

Used PS for 15 years maybe more.

Tried restarting.
Tried new files.
Tried cmd Y
Tried cmd shift h
Restarted photoshop using cmd option shift.
Look on YouTube.

Completely stumped.

I can’t find my photoshop preferences file….to attempt to rebuild it.

Please help if you are able!

    A stab in the dark you give little info and not screen capture I'll need to use My Shotgun.

    Reset all Tool.

    Reset your Photoshop Preferences.

    Turn Off  use GPU in Preference Performance.

    Install the latest Device driver available for your Display Adapter.

    run Photoshop's Font test

    dump your Mac and get a PC

    A Mac user may have other shotgun approaches for Mac Photoshop.

    @ JJMack!
    LOL
    Toss my Mac? 
    Never, Kind sir!  I did all that you suggest except for running a photoshop font test…I dunno what that is.
    Anyway…after that, I tried the cmd option shift on a restart of Photoshop and now I'm back in business.
    Thanks Lambiloon also.  Since I tried more than one thing both of you should get credit.
    After you guys helped I was able to get some gold and metal looking stuff on the letters I couldn’t select.
    Thanks again!

    Troubleshoot fonts issues in Adobe Photoshop CC, 2015, 2014, CS6, CS5

    There is a dowload button for the Font test script. When installed it will be listed in Photoshop's Help menu
