Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

If it is possible, you should set up a block to prevent yourself from receiving the harassing communications. You should contact local law enforcement and provide copies of all the emails she has sent and your responses. She is violating the Texas harassment statute at a minimum, and may be violating federal law. Here is the relevant harassment statute:

� 42.07. HARASSMENT. (a) A person commits an offense if, with intent to harass, annoy, alarm, abuse, torment, or embarrass another, he:

(7) sends repeated electronic communications in a manner reasonably likely to harass, annoy, alarm, abuse, torment, embarrass, or offend another.

(b) In this section:

(1) "Electronic communication" means a transfer of signs, signals, writing, images, sounds, data, or intelligence of any nature transmitted in whole or in part by a wire, radio, electromagnetic, photoelectronic, or photo-optical system. The term includes:

(A) a communication initiated by electronic mail, instant message, network call, or facsimile machine;

(2) "Family" and "household" have the meaning assigned by Chapter 71, Family Code.

(c) An offense under this section is a Class B misdemeanor, except that the offense is a Class A misdemeanor if the actor has previously been convicted under this section.

You might also contact her employer if she is a cop, and certainly whether she is a cop or not if she is sending the messages during work hours.
