This is why it was not smart of you to do that. Do you have proof you submitted it in cash -- receipts from her? Withdrawals from the bank for the exact amount?
Better get ready to defend yourself. Get a lawyer or consult with one now and see if that could stem the tide. Perhaps take her to court for contempt and possible intent to commit perjury. Try www.attorneypages.comand check his or her record atr the Texas State Bar.
