Stolen property from an adult with a disability is considered financial exploitation and is a serious form of abuse, often perpetrated by caregivers, family members, or individuals in positions of trust. This crime involves the illegal or improper use of a vulnerable adult’s money, property, or resources for another’s profit.
Signs of Exploitation
Banking Red Flags: Unusual bank activity, such as large withdrawals, frequent checks made out to cash, or unfamiliar ATM usage.
Missing Items: Disappearance of valuables, jewelry, or cash.
Caregiver Behavior: Caregivers who are reluctant to let others see the disabled person, or who show excessive interest in the person’s finances.

Adults with disabilities in Texas are protected by the federal ADA and state law (Human Resources Code, Section 121), which prohibit discrimination in employment, public accommodations, transportation, and government services

. Common violations include inaccessible facilities (missing ramps, narrow doors), service animal discrimination, failure to provide reasonable accommodations, and housing discrimination. 

Common ADA Violation Areas

  • Public Accommodations (Title III): Inaccessible restaurants, hotels, stores, and theaters, such as lack of accessible parking or restrooms.
  • Government Services (Title II): State and local government programs, services, or facilities that are not accessible to individuals with disabilities.

How to File a Complaint in Texas

Specific Texas Protections
Texas law (Human Resources Code 121) mirrors the ADA but provides, in some cases, enhanced penalties and stricter requirements for service animal access. Violations can lead to lawsuits for injunctive relief, back pay, and damages for pain and suffering.
