My ex-fiance and I live together and I suspect he used my debit card without aurthorization. I noticed a withdrawl I did not perform. He denies. I've contacted my bank and requested survelience of the transaction in question. If it's found to be him, what charges will come against him in the state of Texas, and what will the consequence of his actions for this theft?
I ask because we have a young son together and I worry about my son not having a father around if this escalates into something large, but I also don't want to be taken advantage of and stolen from and I'd like to pursue charges against him if it is him. Just trying to weigh my options.

If you pursue it through the bank (like wanting reversal), they will contact local police to file charges. It is debit card abuse which is a felony. He could get anywhere from deferred adjudication probation to state jail time depending on the facts and his criminal history.
