TEXAS — Texas is currently sitting on more than $7 billion in cash and valuables, and a chunk of that might belong to you.

Tuesday, Feb. 1 is national Unclaimed Property Day, and Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar is urging people to check to see if they’re owed anything.

It’s estimated that nearly 33 million Americans have unclaimed property, which includes things such as forgotten utility deposits or other refunds, insurance proceeds, payroll checks, cashier’s checks, dividends, mineral royalties, dormant bank accounts and forgotten safe-deposit contents.

Since the program’s inception in Texas in 1962, the comptroller’s office has returned more than $3 billion in property to Texans.

“This effort is part of my continued commitment to focus on customer service and provide taxpayers with transparent and accountable government. The money belongs to the people of Texas,” Hegar said.

There’s no statute of limitations on unclaimed property, so you can make a claim whenever you’d like. Start by visiting ClaimitTexas.org. You can also call 800-321-2274 (CASH) for more information about the program.

It’s also recommended you visit MissingMoney.com or FindMyFunds.com to see if you have unclaimed property in other states.
