Searching is free. If we recover your property, our fee is 10% of the amount recovered — never more than Texas law allows — and you're charged only after your money reaches you. If nothing is recovered, you owe nothing.

Yes — you can file free directly with the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Unclaimed Property Division. People use UnKlaimed because we do the tedious part: matching records, verifying identity, preparing and filing the exact forms, arranging notarization when required, and tracking the claim to payment — all from your phone, with nothing out of pocket.

How long does a Texas claim take?

Once filed, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Unclaimed Property Division typically reviews and issues payment within a few weeks to a few months for straightforward claims; securities, estate, and business claims can take longer. We keep you updated at every step.

Where is the official Texas unclaimed property search?

The official database is run by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Unclaimed Property Division (claimittexas.gov). UnKlaimed is an independent service that searches those records and files the claim for you; you can always search and claim for free directly with the state.

Is there a deadline to claim unclaimed property in Texas?

No. Texas holds unclaimed property in trust indefinitely — there is generally no deadline and no statute of limitations to claim what's yours.
