Try something like this:

For Each lviItem As ListViewItem In ListView1.Items
    If lviItem.Text = ComboBox1.Text Then
        TextBox1.Text = lviItem.SubItems(0).Text
        TextBox2.Text = lviItem.SubItems(1).Text
    End If
Next

Same, except I'd add "Exit For" after line 4.

If you set the Name property of each item when you add the items to the ListView then you don't have to do a search. You can access by key as in

Private Sub ComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.SelectedIndexChanged

    Dim key As String = DirectCast(sender, ComboBox).Text

    If ListView2.Items.ContainsKey(key) Then
        txtName.Text = ListView2.Items(key).SubItems(1).Text
        txtAge.Text = ListView2.Items(key).SubItems(2).Text
    End If

End Sub

An example of adding with keys is

item = New ListViewItem({"0001", "George", "42"})
item.Name = item.SubItems(0).Text
ListView2.Items.Add(item)

For Each lviItem As ListViewItem In ListView1.Items
    If lviItem.Text = ComboBox1.Text Then
        TextBox1.Text = lviItem.SubItems(0).Text
        TextBox2.Text = lviItem.SubItems(1).Text
    End If
