Does Helios have any plans on releasing Textpad on Linux platform ?

This question has been asked since 2000. At any rate, Helios never comments on what they're planning or working on.

Given https://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=85 older versions seem to work quite good using Wine.

The TextPad developers just need someone doing all tests under Linux and then provide workarounds for incompatibilities (i.e. providing program parameters that switch would load configuration and license files from other locations) - mostly there's no need to develop for the Unix platform if the Windows executable is just flexible enough.
