General Information
What is unclaimed property?
Unclaimed property can be any financial asset that appears to have been abandoned by the owner for three years or more. For example:
- Uncashed dividend, payroll or cashier's checks
- Stocks, mutual fund accounts, bonds
- Utility deposits and other refunds
- Bank accounts and safe deposit box contents
- Insurance proceeds
- Mineral interest or royalty payments
- Court deposits, trust funds, escrow accounts
Why does it go to the State?
The unclaimed property law, originally passed by the Texas Legislature in 1961, requires financial institutions, businesses, and government entities to report to the state, personal property they are holding that is considered abandoned or unclaimed.
The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts is responsible for administering the Texas Unclaimed Property Program. Property is turned over to the Comptroller's office annually when the owner's whereabouts are unknown and the property has been inactive on the books of the reporting company between three and five years.
