I sent annoying emails indirectly through a website contact form.
Asked on Aug 24th, 2013 on Criminal Law - Texas
More details to this question:
I was angry at te owner of the company because he stated that I sabatoged equipment at another company many years ago. This was completely false. I went on his website and filled out the contact form with stuff like ABC Company has lost some of its best customers. I never threatened, never used obscene language. The emails were just annoying. I am worried not that they may be traced back to me. What am I facing as far as charges. I sent a few messages weekly for two months.

Update Your Profile
It is possible that you could be prosecuted for Harrassment. If the State can prove that the intent of the emails/reviews was to harras or annoy the establishment, they can make out a case. From this point forward, I would suggest that the only people you discuss this case with is your attorney. If the State gets wind, and chooses to pursue charges, you will likely still have options to protect your record; so that's the good news. What you need to avoid is making a bad situation worse.
Best of luck!
