Probably not. If the person is sending threatening messages, you may consider getting a restraining order. Even if the messages are merely harassing, you could possibly still get such an order. Then, if they violate that order, the consequences for them would worsen.
But if you are asking if there is something that you can sue them for just for sending those messages, the answer is probably not.
