� Ms. Wright submitted a loan application with a forged signature of the co-signer
to the THECB which dispersed funds to Ms. Francis
� Ms. Hernandez submitted a loan application with a forged signature of the
co-signer to the THECB which dispersed funds to her son
THECB loss as a result of Ms. Wright and Ms. Hernandez's conduct exceeded $5,600.
