This buys access to collected public records, kept current. It is not a claim service and does not mean money is owed to you. Claims are filed directly with the county, which does not charge you to claim your own money.
Prefer to look before you buy? The surplus funds search tool shows a free capped preview of every county, and full access is also included with membership.
Claiming surplus funds in Texas
Claims are filed with the county that held the tax sale, typically the clerk of court, treasurer, or tax collector. Deadlines and required forms differ by county, and unclaimed amounts eventually escheat, so verify the deadline on the county page and its official source before relying on any figure here. TaxLienSimple is a research platform, not a recovery service, and none of this is legal advice.
