Unclaimed Property
Did you know that the State of Texas is currently holding about $4 billion in cash and other valuables waiting to be claimed by their rightful owners? Glenn Hegar, Texas Comptroller, estimates that 1 in 4 Texans haven’t claimed their property. Examples include a dividend, payroll or cashier’s checks; stocks, bonds and mutual fund accounts; utility deposits and other refunds; insurance proceeds; mineral interest or royalty payments; dormant bank accounts; and abandoned safe deposit box contents.
Comptroller Hegar’s office has provided helpful resources to make it easy to find and claim your property. To find out if you have unclaimed property, please visit the Texas Unclaimed Property website or call 1-800-654-FIND (3463).
