Disposition of Unclaimed Inmate Property after transfer to TDCJ
Quetsion has been presented regarding what to do with inmate personal property unclaimed after inmate is transferred to TDCJ, notice is sent to relative or inmate, and inmate or inmate's relative / friend fails to pick-up property. It appears to me unclear whether one proceeds under Chapters 72 and 74 Prop. Code (over $100 value) and Ch. 76 (under $100) or under Art. 18.17 C.C.P.("seized" property).Since the location of the owner is known, seems Ch's 72 and 76 may not apply - on the other hand, the application of art. 18.17 is unclear. Does anyone know how this is handled in your County?
