Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Re: Spouse forgery of credit card applications

I am in San Antonio, not sure where you are, but you need a local lawyer, or at least one within a hundred mile radius. It depends on who is on the list as authorized signator. If she is on it, then she can use the card and she is not forging your name but obstensibly using it by permission. If you want to stop this, write a letter to the credit card company, explaining that no one is aollowed to sign your name but you. Then she would have problem, if she signed your name. The loan documents present an interesting situation wherein the lending institutions have co-responsibility with your wife by accepting your wifes representation that she could sign your name, if that is what occurred, if it was by mail or fax, then the bank has a duty to verify the signatures as genuine.
