Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

Sale of Home

I sold my house in TX and went to closing April 30, 2007. The closing company wired the money due to me from chosing directly into my account twice. I have recieved double the money and no one has contacted me from the closing company about the mistake. I advised the bank and the closing company the day after the transfer took place and neither claim a mistake was made.

Is their a limit on time for for the bank or closing company to catch the error and demand repayment?

The time limit is probably four years. However, I would advise you to put the extra money in a separate account and atleast allow it to draw interest. What with computers and cross-checking transactions they will probably discover their error.
