Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

My neighbor has been harassing me for over a year now. I have called the police about 5 or 6 times. The police are saying they can't do anything about him...because he is considered mental...but I can go to jail if I were to threaten him back...what should I do...now that he knows he can get away with it, it is getting worse. I have a criminal tresspass notice against him.
