Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Texas

If a woman was in a relationship with a man and at the time they were together she purchased a game console for the household and when they break up and he takes her item from her place of residence without her permission and say that the console was bought for him as a gift, would that woman have a good case against him if she has all supporting documents such as:receipts, bank statements, and statments from friends and family members basically saying that the item was purchased for entertainment use for her household and not for the ex-boyfriend?
