Hi Helder,  
  
You can access the text data through TextFrame property only when the shape is auto shape. So we kindly request you to access the TextFrame only when the shape is autoshape. For other shapes like text box, comment you can access the text through Text Property.  
  
Below we have prepared the simple sample for your reference.

Thank you for your help. A ".xlsx" file is used for testing in the sample that you sent. Are ".xls" files also supported to pull the text from a shape object?

Hi Helder, 
  
Yes. We do have support for shapes in binary format except auto shapes. Please refer the following UG documentation for supported shape types in binary format.
