Complainant writes check to defendant in defendant's home county for $5k for a storage building. Defendant is to deliver a storage building to complainant in his home county. Check clears through complainant's bank in complainant's home county. Defendant never delivers any building.

If I am alleging theft of the $5k is venue proper in complainant's home county since money was drawn from complainant's bank in his home county?

I think that venue would actually be proper in either county.
