Nope, I'm sure it happens all the time.

No, if an account is a joint account, either signer can access the available funds at any time, with or without the knowledge of the other signer.

Texas is a community property republic.
If you have $500, half of it belongs to your spouse.
If your spouse, or even your girlfriend or boyfriend is a joint account holder, he or she is legally entitled to clean out the entire account.
That's why one must be very careful when its decided to open a joint account with Hector, Harriet, or Hilton.

If you're concerned about joint accounts where either acct. holder can take out a withdraw of any amount, you might want to in the future consider separate accounts.
