How to find content within a textbox?

I know from the parsed ooxml (and visually) that there are textboxes with text inside them in my Word file.

However, I can't use context.document.body to access textboxes nor can I use context.document.contentControls, which comes out as an empty array. And Word.Shape says it's not to be used in production...so how can I extract the text content from textboxes?
