Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

I am a concession food vendor out of katy tx, who was working with a man who was suppose to find events and festivals for me. He had other vendors who he had signed on to help. I gave him a deposit for the booth rental at the event, but then he called me and told me he had canceled with the event director. He told me and other vendors that it was do to they were not doing there part to advertise the event. I found out that this was not the case, the man that I was working with pocketed the vendor money and never gave anything to the event coordinator for booth rental. So far we have seven vendors he owes money to. To rent the booth was 300.00 for each booth, plus I found out that he owes other vendors from another event. He finds events tells vendors they will work for him, he gets there money and then doesn't follow through once he has the money. I do have a contract which he breached. Could this be a legal matter. The other vendors which I have talked to what to stop him from doing this to other vendors, can we have him arrested?

It would be criminal if you could find an interested police officer - but that is not likely. More likely, if you call the police they are going to tell you that it is a civil matter and to sue the guy to get your money back.
