For people I've contacted

Did you receive a letter?

I contact people when I find Texas unclaimed property that may belong to them or to an estate or business they represent. Before sharing records, you can verify my company's license with Texas DPS using the certificate and license number shown here.

If you would like to discuss the property I found, I can explain what I know so far and how I would handle the claim.

Five things to check from search to payment

Follow the tips in order, or jump to the question you are facing now.

01 / VALUE

$0 does not always mean worthless

The claim form may show shares that the cash amount on the search page does not price.

See the example 02 / OWNERSHIP

A property can have multiple reported names

A property ID search or claim form can reveal someone else reported on the account.

What to check 03 / DOCUMENTS

Requests for additional documentation

An old name, a missing account record, or an image that cannot be read can stall a claim.

Work through a request 04 / CLAIM STATUS

Check the status of your claim online

The tracker confirms receipt and queue status, but seldom tells you when review will finish.

Understand the tracker 05 / PAYMENT

When and how will you be paid?

Read the payment notice, check the stock instructions, and know what to do if a check is missing.
