Texas unclaimed funds division manager George Tamayo says "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 first to make use of the online auction website early in 2002, changing from the traditional method of disposing of the abandoned properties through live physical auctions. According to Jackie Schroeter, manager of safe deposit boxes in Texas, selling items on eBay saves her office a lot of time and effort. With the live physical auctions, the office of Unclaimed Property would have had to shut down to coordinate them, due to lack in manpower. It just takes a couple of clicks of your mouse now.

The earnings from the online auctions go back to the Texas unclaimed cash fund where they can still be claimed by the rightful owners at any time. "The Unclaimed Property List contains the names of Texans with property valued at $100 or more that was reported to the state within the last year.", says Texas Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn who added in a recent report, "Since I took office, I have returned more than $532 million in unclaimed property to its original owners,"

This is terrific news indeed for people living in the Lone Star State, but don't expect that the State Comptroller is going to come to your front door and deliver your lost funds to you. Unless you don't have an immediate need for extra cash in your hands, you should start your search for unclaimed property in Texas or other states now!

People often say everything is bigger in the Lone Star State- the cowboy boots, longhorned bovines, steaks, cars, prairies, and even piles of money. Texas unclaimed property that is. Texas state comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn holds nearly two billion dollars in unclaimed assets to give away to her state's residents. Actually, it isn't so much giving away as giving back since the lost assets was already belonged to them. Funny thing is that most of the 200,000 people owed Texas unclaimed properties don't even realize they have money coming to them.

People tend to forget to collect insurance checks or salary when they find new jobs or move to a new home. They also often forget to leave behind forwarding addresses when they move and this is one of the primary causes for lost checks. When business and financial institutions can not track down the owners of these lost financial assets for 5 years (in Texas), they're handed over to the state as dictated by Texas Unclaimed Funds Law which follows the nation's escheat laws. The unclaimed money sit in the Texas state Comptroller's office until the rightful owners come to claim them.

Unclaimed money in Texas covers anything from forgotten savings accounts, stock and cash dividends, bank accounts, un-cashed checks, uncollected insurance benefits and money orders to gift certificates and contents of safety deposit boxes which are considered abandoned by their owners. The latter is the sole example of tangible assets under the Texas Unclaimed Funds Law and these are auctioned off on eBay after two years of being turned over to the State Comptroller. So if you are looking for antiques or family heirlooms that your Texan relatives may have lost track of over the years, it's best to search soon or risk allowing them to show up on eBay.
