By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.

This cannot be the first you understand he is helpless.
Who is the POA?
Who is the guardian?
You need to call APS if there is none ASAP and you need to charge this woman with elder abuse. Go to the Police. Go to the Sheriff. File kidnapping if there is a POA.
If there is no guardian, POA or Conservator here I guess this is the gods little way of letting you know there must be one.
Please don't tell me there is no diagnosis here. Because if not, your bro just likely got married and moved to TX.
Call APS ASAP
The person that is his POA or his Guardian if there is o POA can stop him from going to Texas or anywhere else for that matter.
If there is no POA and no one is Guardian that should be remedied right away.
Contact APS.
If she forcibly tries to take him you can call the police.
(and she can't get to him if you don't open the door for her)
I would post a family member at his residence with knowledge of the law in TX and any appropriate documents. But, does your brother have an actual medical diagnosis in his records? If not, this is a problem and she can probably leave with him if he is consenting. You can't just say he has dementia without medical tests to substantiate it.
You may want to talk to his bank, and put a credit freeze on his accounts, if you are able. Collect his checkbooks, cc's, etc. for safekeeping.
He needs a medical diagnosis asap if he doesn't have one. Is anyone his PoA? If not, this situation may require guardianship... Maybe consider getting APS involved. Do the police know your family and your brother? It may help if they do.
How did he meet her? On the internet?
If this woman is phishing him then she's not going to be into that amount in an allowance.
Also, she needs to be told that you will oversee his accounts as POA and any evidence of her using his funds will land her in jail for felony elder abuse.
This is a "follow the money" and "protect the money" story. Brother isn't going too far without it.
And AGAIN, call APS.
