Find Texas and Austin unclaimed property

Short answer

Search the Texas Comptroller's ClaimItTexas ledger first, then search the City of Austin list separately. A name match is only a lead, not proof that the property belongs to you. Use the current official claim form or portal for identity and ownership evidence, and do not pay a recovery company before using the free official searches.

Who this is for

Texas residents, businesses, heirs, or former Austin payees checking for uncashed checks, refunds, overpayments, or other unclaimed property.

Next steps

1. Search ClaimItTexas with current, former, and business-name variants, then search the City of Austin list separately.
2. Compare the listed name, address, property description, and claim ID without assuming a match proves ownership.
3. Use the current official Texas or Austin claim route and provide identity or ownership evidence only there.
4. Save the official confirmation or reference and use that channel for status questions.

Have this ready

• Current, former, and business-name variants
• Current and prior address history kept for the official claim channel
• The property ID, claim number, and description from an official result
• Identity, ownership, or heir records only when the official process requests them

Common mistakes to avoid

• Searching only one official ledger
• Treating a matching name as proof of ownership
• Sending an SSN, ID image, bank detail, or ownership document to ATX Untangled or an unverified address
• Paying a finder before completing the free official searches
