Fighting financial crime. Protecting community assets and vulnerable victims.

The Financial Crimes & Forfeiture Section prosecutes high-dollar, complex financial crimes involving $100,000 or more. These cases include money laundering, embezzlement, theft, misapplication of fiduciary property, title fraud, and other financial offenses.

In addition, this team takes on all crimes related to elder abuse — from financial exploitation to physical harm — working to safeguard some of the most vulnerable members of our community.

What sets this team apart? Two Certified Fraud Examiners work alongside prosecutors and law enforcement, bringing specialized expertise to every investigation — ensuring even the most sophisticated criminals are held accountable.

The section also manages asset and bond forfeiture cases. Under Chapter 59 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, the asset forfeiture attorney pursues the seizure of criminal proceeds and property — targeting the assets of defendants, including local drug traffickers, to disrupt criminal operations.
