My question involves defamation in the state of: Texas
I'm not proud of what I did but I sent a text message a few weeks ago to estranged spouse of my signficant other to tell them they shouldn't let their estranged spouse spend the weekends at their house any more because evidence was being gathered to use in the divorce case for custody.
The sigficant other was asked to leave and now they are furious (rightly so) and looking to track down the sender of the text to sue and file charges against. They are even talking about contacting the police and hiring lawyers.
What was said in the text wasn't a lie and it was done using a prepaid cell phone.
I very much regret what I did and only did it so I could spend more time with this person but this person says it made them lose any chance of custody which I NEVER meant to happen.
Can this text be traced back to me?
Can I be sued or arrested for this?
