    Default Harassment by a Family Member

    My question involves restraining orders in the State of: Texas

    I have a question about harrassment. My sister-in-law continually emails and calls my family (parents, brothers, and myself) in reference to her problems with my brother. We have told her that we do not want to speak with her and yet she continues to contact us. In the emails she repeatedly belittles and tears apart my family. She has been extremely bad with my parents. When she calls she has left messages screaming at my parents. What type of rights do we have to file harrassment charges on her?

    Default Re: Harrassment

    The email part is easy to deal with. It's the DELETE button. One need not even open the email, just delete it without reading. Unless there are specific and credible threats to do bodily harm, law enforcement won't get involved.

    The phone calls could be the basis for a no contact order. Your parents can go down to the local courthouse and file for the order. Most phone companies will also change phone numbers and make them unlisted for free if the account holder notifies them that harassing calls are being received or if a police report has been filed.
