Could be trouble if TWC thinks anything fraudulent occurred. This first call is going to be with an investigator. There will probably be a number of hearings before too much of anything happens because TWC is real bureaucratic, but if things really go badly, there can be consequences. Here is a link to the statutes:

She also needs to think through the "too physically demanding" thing. TWC may think her voluntary resignation is a disqualifying event and terminate benefits as a voluntary resignation. I don't know your facts, but this case from the TWC precedent manual makes it look like a pretty tough case to prove.
Appeal No. 3210-CA-75. The claimant left her job because the work was too hard and because, in her opinion, the standing required by the work was causing her feet and legs to swell, thereby adversely affecting her health. She had not consulted a physician and thus had not been advised by a doctor to leave the job due to health reasons. She never made her complaints known to the plant foreman nor did she seek a transfer to other work. HELD: Since the claimant never advised the plant foreman of her health problem and never consulted a physician regarding it (and, thus, was never advised by a physician to quit work because of her health problem), the claimant's separation was voluntary and with-out good cause connected with the work.
