Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

lewd or indecent text message punishment

Hello,

I was recently served a warrant for my arrest for text messaging. I had broekn up with a former girlfriend and we had been in contact with each other via text message for a few years. Recently i sent her a text and we got into an argument she called me a few names and ended up calling her a few names, (racial slurs and such). In my states this is now considered a class 1 misdemenor. I hate to say this, but i daid the stuff there for i am guilty, but should i fight this because she also cussed at me, and what kind of penalty should i expect? i am just very worried. thik this i dumb, but im in a heap of trouble.

You will need to see if you can get complete transcripts of all text messages from your cell phone company.
