Complete Guide to Searching and Claiming in TX [2026]
Texas is one of 12 states where Claimiflo searches and supports filing free of charge.
Texas holds millions of dollars in unclaimed property waiting to be returned to rightful owners. The Lone Star State, as the second-largest economy, holds massive unclaimed property holdings including oil and gas royalties and corporate vendor payments. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts is responsible for safeguarding and returning these assets to their owners.
Texas uses the KAPS (Kelmar) for its unclaimed property database. Property typically becomes dormant after 3 years of no owner activity, at which point holders must report it to the state by July 1 each year.
This is the official state website operated by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. Use this site to:
Visit claimittexas.gov and search using your name or business name.
Check the property details (address, holder name) to confirm it belongs to you.
Submit your claim online and receive a claim number. Don't use the search form again if you already have a claim number.
Provide proof of identity and ownership as requested by the state.
Texas claims typically take Average 37 working days to process.
Once approved, receive your funds via check or direct deposit (if available).
