Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Double Jeopardy

Three years ago I was charged with assault on a family member. X girlfriend. The State filled charges and I was in and out court for a year. I won the case with my x and my testamony. 6 or so jurors found me innocent. I have been apart from the x for 1.5 years.I just got a text that she is talking to the DA and she says she told them she lied on the stand to protect me. They are about re opening the case because she needs to pay Dr bills. Does Double Jeopardy apply here. What should I do? We told the truth about what happened and I won.I think she is trying to extort money from me.
