Texas holds over $10 billion in unclaimed property, including forgotten bank accounts, uncashed checks, and utility deposits, with the state urging residents to claim their money. Acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock emphasized that all funds belong to Texans and can provide a significant boost, especially during the holidays. Residents can search for and claim their property for free through the state's online portal, ClaimItTexas.gov, which offers step-by-step instructions. Other states like Pennsylvania and New York have also successfully returned millions in unclaimed funds to their citizens.
