In general, a bank has 24 hours, or 1 day, to return a dishonored check. The paying bank must return a dishonored item (ex. a check) before midnight of the banking day the item was received (Section 4.301, Texas Business and Commerce Code). Consumers should be aware that a check can be returned after this time frame if a problem exist with the item, such as counterfeit, an alteration, or forgery.
