The State of Texas Might Have Money Waiting for You

Most people in Texas don’t realize that there is a huge amount of unclaimed property and that could mean there is money waiting for you. According to the Texas Comptroller’s Office the money that goes unclaimed is because of things like abandoned bank accounts. These funds can also come from things like overpaying on medical or utility bills, while it might seem strange to overpay a bill, as you can tell it happens quite often.
