They say everything comes big in the Texas- the longhorned bovines, cowboy boots, prairies, steaks, cars, and piles of money. TX unclaimed money that is. TX comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn has almost two billion dollars in unclaimed cash to give away to the state's residents. Actually, it's not so much giving away as returning money since the lost cash was already belonged to them. The funny thing is that most of the two hundred thousand residents owed TX unclaimed funds do not even realize they have funds headed their way.
People tend to forget about collecting salary or insurance checks when they get new jobs or relocate. They also forget to leave forwarding addresses after they relocate which is one of the main reasons for lost checks. When businesses and financial establishments cannot find the rightful owners of these missing financial assets for five years (in TX), they're handed over to the state as dictated by TX Unclaimed Funds Law which follows the nation's escheat laws. The unclaimed money sit in the TX state Comptroller's office until their owners step forward to take them back.

People say that everything comes big in the Lone Star State- the longhorned bovines, cowboy boots, prairies, steaks, cars, and piles of money. TX unclaimed money that is. TX comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn has nearly 2 billion dollars in unclaimed cash to give away to to residents of the state. Actually, it's not so much giving away as returning money since the lost cash was theirs to begin with. The funny thing is most of the 200,000 people owed TX unclaimed funds don't even know they have funds owed to them.
People often forget to collect insurance checks or salary when they find new jobs or move to a new home. They also forget to leave a forwarding address after they relocate which is one of the main reasons for lost checks. When business and financial institutions can't track down the rightful owners of these lost financial assets for five years (in TX), they are turned over to the state as dictated by TX Unclaimed Funds Law which follows the nation's escheat laws. The unclaimed funds sit in the TX state Comptroller's office until the rightful owners step forward to take them back.
Unclaimed money in TX covers things like forgotten bank accounts, savings accounts, stock and cash dividends, uncollected insurance benefits and money orders to gift certificates, un-cashed checks and contents of safety deposit boxes which have been considered abandoned by their owners. The latter is the sole example of tangible assets covered under the TX Unclaimed Funds Law and and they're auctioned off on eBay after two years of being turned over to the State Comptroller's office. So if you're looking for antiques or family heirlooms that your Texan relatives might have forgotten about over the years, your best bet is to look soon or risk allowing them to show up on eBay.
Texas unclaimed funds division manager George Tamayo states "From our experience, we determined we were getting the most bang for our buck on eBay." and goes on to say "It's more cost-effective, because we are able to do the auctions ourselves." His state was one of the earliest to make use of the auction web site in early 2002, switching from the traditional method of dealing with abandoned properties through live auctions. According to Jackie Schroeter, safe deposit box manager for TX, selling items on online auctions saves her office a lot of time and effort. With the live auctions, the office of Unclaimed Property would've had to close down to organize them, due to a lack in manpower. It just takes a handful of clicks with a computer mouse these days.
