1. The text is still a text layer. Use the text tool, click and edit

2. The text has been modified some way, scaled, layer to image size. 
Click in it with the text tool and if the text information is there, you get some options to recover the original unformatted text

3. The text information has been destroyed, this example merged down with a layer. Gone for good.

Thanks for the useful information. I'll keep all this in mind.
