Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Our local youth association treasure is being questioned about her handling the association's finances. There is close to $7500 that is unaccounted for, this is in the form of cash and checks that were written for cash. She was authorized to write checks but we feel this has been abused. What can we do about this legally?
