Why are the transform handles not showing up when I select any text in a textbox?

Hi. I've had this issue since yesterday. I've tried checking the Graphics processor on and off and restarting Photoshop but it didn't seem to help. Any tips?

Is it definitely a text box and not just a plain type layer?  

When you drag out a new text box, are you saying that if you OK it and then double click, you are not seeing the bounding box?

OK. Ignore my post. I posted it at the same time as your second post.
