Welfare Fraud
There are serious consequences for welfare fraud in Texas. Welfare fraud includes hiding income, claiming too many dependents and lying on your application. Attorney Troy Locklear can help you and your family in this difficult time if you have been charged with welfare fraud or related crimes, such as Medicaid fraud or food stamp fraud.
For example, if you had a temporary job and then got a raise, but failed to report your increased income to the Health and Human Services Commission, you could face an audit and possible criminal charges. This small mistake could prevent people who truly need benefits from getting the help they need and worse it can result in law enforcement filing charges against you. Mistakes happen and are sometimes difficult to explain. If you are under investigation or charges have been filed related to welfare, contact Troy Locklear to discuss the matter and do not try to talk to authorities by yourself.
