Brother Has An Active Felony Warrant Out…what Can We Do?

Card image cap

I just moved back home after my mother passed. Yesterday I found out from my father that my brother apparently has a felony warrant (or warrants? I’m not sure).

A few days ago my dad checking the county registry for a civil case he has with a client (he does woodwork on the side and these things are rare but they do happen). He called me from the other room to come look at something. Apparently the client shares our last name and at the top of the search is my brother’s first name after it. There are 2 cases. One with theft of $30k and another called “aggregate theft” for between $150k and $300k…

This is news to both of us.

Apparently a hearing or meeting took place in JULY.

Some back story:

Around 3 years ago during Covid, my brother claimed to have gotten into “real estate whole sale”. He has dropped out of high school in the 11th grade. One of those “defy the system” types. And said it was appealing because he didn’t need any qualifications or experience. We shrugged it off.

Eventually he had to have come into a large sum of money because suddenly he wanted to move out. Over the next year or so his IG stories were full of him “ballin” in every sense of the word. Spending (wasting really) a lot of money. Around the end of 2022 he came back home empty handed. He had almost burned down the luxury apartment he was renting and had been evicted.

This was a weird time but we just assumed it was a phase of him f-ing around and finding out. But these warrants are out of left field. I never imagined he may have been doing something illegal. I had googled whole selling and it was a legit profession that didn’t require any degree or certification, at least not in Texas.

In short the case says that my brother “paraded” as a property broker and sold a piece of land that he didn’t own nor had permission to sell and pocketed 30 grand…that explains his year of “prosperity”. The seller went to claim the land and was met with a sign noting that it was NOT for sale. Realizing he had been swindled he contacted the owners and the company who middle manned the whole thing and received reimbursement from them. But the 30k my brother had is still missing…and now SPENT.

Jesus Christ.

Anyways, what can we do about this if anything? It’s been 5 months since the meeting listed online and we haven’t had a visit from cops or any mail regarding the situation…
