Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Is it a crime for someone trusted to pay a disabled person's bills to take $100,000 for himself out of the disabled person's account, by writing checks to himself and signing the disabled person's name, without the disabled person's permission?

What is the crime? What can the disabled person do to get his money back? How can the disabled person proceed if the trusted bill payer friend has taken ALL of the disabled person's money?

The crime would be theft, and forgery. Both are felonies. Somebody should contact the police TODAY.
