The Texas Unclaimed Property division defines unclaimed money this way:

The unclaimed property law 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 after the appropriate
abandonment period has run.



Additionally, the state defines Texas unclaimed money as money or property that has been abandoned for over 1 year. They list the following examples of Texas unclaimed money:


  • Dividend, payroll or cashier's checks
