My daughter works at a grocery store and while gathering carts she noticed a purse, she brought back into the store and her employer asked her to open the purse to look for identification, ther was no I.D. but a huge wad of $100.00 bills rolled up into a wad strapped with a rubber band. The employers placed the purse into the store safe. What i want to know is does my daughter get to keep the money if the purse goes unclaimed after a certain period of time?

The law for Texas.

Usually they have to publish that money was found and have who ever call give details (amount, what purse looks like, etc.) and if they don't call it becomes the property of the finder after a period of time. An issue here is that she gave up custody to the employer, who may need to be persuaded of this.

Possession is 9/10 of the law.

This is a good question for a lawyer or the local PD. However, it is also something she should ask her manager. Good Luck!

She is entitled to it unless her employer has a memory loss.
