how do you take ownership of abandoned property in texas

[OChloe]

To take ownership of abandoned property in Texas, you can use adverse possession by occupying and maintaining the property for a set period (typically 10 years for real estate), followed by a court-filed quiet title action to gain legal title. For financial or personal property, check the state's unclaimed property listing, which is managed by the Texas Comptroller's Office, and file a claim if you find your name on the list.
