If you permit someone to use your car in Texas and they dont return it, its not theft, but you can pursue unauthorized use charges. Report the incident to Bexar County authorities if the vehicle is in San Antonio. Additionally, fraudulent bank transactions can be pursued legally. Consider consulting with local attorneys for guidance on both issues.

yes but they say that in Texas if I give them permission to use the car. its not stolen if they don't bring it back
I'm really sorry to hear about the trouble you're facing. While it's true that if you give someone permission to use your car, it's not considered theft under Texas law, there may still be legal actions you can take. You might want to consider the following:
- Unauthorized Use: Even if it's not theft, the person could be charged with "unauthorized use of a vehicle."
- Fraudulent Transactions: You can pursue charges for draining your bank account without permission.
