Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Spousal theft of vehicle
My sister lives in Dallas, and is seeking a divorce attorney. She has a car in her name only, and her husband took it today against her wishes (almost hit her when she was trying to stop him), and she has no idea where he's gone, and only knows he basically told her good luck finding a way home from work. Can she report the car stolen, even though it's her spouse that took it without consent?

It is not likely that the police will report the car as stolen -- if he deliberately tried to hit her with the car, that is attempted aggravated assault.
