Read about Betsy Price's missing campaign money in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
"Evidently, someone stole the account information and then created their own debit cards and a check," she said.
One debit card transaction was for $346.37 at a Walmart in Abilene; the other debit card transaction was for $291.50 at a Walmart in Oklahoma City, according to a Fort Worth police report.
Price said investigators have asked Wal-Mart for surveillance video to try to identify the offender or offenders.
The fraudulent check for $300.94 was passed at a Lowe's in Fort Worth, the report said.
The former Tarrant County tax assessor-collector said account theft can happen to anybody and pledged to monitor her campaign account more closely.
On her last campaign finance report, Price had $14,538.81 in her account on June 30, the last day of the reporting period.
