The Unclaimed Property Division at the Texas Comptroller’s Office has billions of dollars that belong to Texans who haven’t come forward to collect it. The money comes from things like abandoned bank accounts, overpayments on medical and utility bills, and refunds or rebates belonging to customers.

HOW TO SEARCH FOR UNCLAIM PROPERTY
What is Unclaimed Property?

Since 1963, Texas has required institutions, businesses and governmental entities to report to the state any personal property that has been unclaimed for up to five years, depending on the property in question.

Unclaimed property can be abandoned assets. Some examples:

  • dividend, payroll or cashier’s checks
  • stocks, bonds or mutual fund accounts
  • utility deposits and other refunds
  • bank accounts and safe deposit box contents
  • insurance proceeds
  • mineral interest or royalty payments
  • court deposits, trust funds or escrow accounts
  • overpayments on insurance, utilities and other bills

Unclaimed property does not include real estate or vehicles.

There is no statute of limitations for unclaimed property. Funds reported will remain here indefinitely until returned to their rightful owner.

The Texas Comptroller has authority to manage the State of Texas Unclaimed Property Program under Title 6 of the Texas Property Code (opens in a new tab).
