Texas Unclaimed
Money
It’s estimated that 40 billion
dollars as of 2010 were accounted as
unclaimed money by the US government.
Furthermore statistics have shown that
every 7 out 10 people in US as a whole
are entitled for unclaimed money. Out of
this Texas unclaimed money accounts up
to 3 million dollars alone. This means
that the Texas which currently has a
population of 200,000 residents has to
give away 3 million dollars as Texas
unclaimed money.
The reason for Texas unclaimed money to
rise is that when people get new jobs,
new property or get married, they tend
to forget to collect their insurance or
their salary. That’s not all the reasons
for Texas unclaimed money to accumulate,
people who move tend to forget to give
their new addresses. Thus when
government or the state sends in checks,
it gets lost. Texas unclaimed money are
from assets from which organizations
have turned to the state to keep hold
of. As per Texas Law, organizations can
keep hold of the lost or unclaimed
property up to a maximum of 5 years.
Once these are turned to the state, it
goes into the Texas unclaimed money fund
which is under the Texas state
Comptroller until the owners claim for
them.
Texas unclaimed money can consist of
anything from bank accounts, taxes,
insurance, stocks, bonds, money orders
and even gift certificates. Once these
become dormant they are turned over to
the Texas state to keep hold of. So if
you want to know about your family’s
antiques etc, you need to get in touch
with the Texas state office and they
will be able to help you.
Texas was one of the first few states to
switch to internet auctions. With

it. The best way to know if you are
