Dallas Fort Worth International Airport Cash Seizure Attorney

Navigating Cash Seizure Laws at DFW Airport with our Texas Lawyer

If you are traveling through Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) with a significant amount of cash, it is important to be aware of the laws and regulations that govern the transportation and reporting of currency. These laws are in place to combat money laundering, drug trafficking, and other criminal activities. However, innocent people can also find themselves subject to cash seizure if they do not properly follow these rules.

Understanding Cash Seizure Laws

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and other federal agencies work diligently to monitor international airports like DFW for illegal activity. Under federal law, anyone transporting more than $10,000 in currency or monetary instruments into or out of the United States must report that amount to CBP by filing a Report of International Transportation of Currency or Monetary Instruments (FinCEN Form 105).

If a person fails to report cash when entering or leaving the country, or if they provide false information on the form, authorities have the right to seize funds without further notice. In addition, officials may seize any amount of money that they suspect is associated with criminal activity under civil asset forfeiture laws, as permitted by federal statutes.
