Cyberbullying and Fraud

 In 2009, the Texas Legislature added 33.07 to the Penal Code which makes it a third-degree felony to use the name or person of another to create a web page or to post messages on social networking sites absent the person's consent and with the intent to harm, defraud, intimidate or threaten another.  That law also creates the possibility of a Class A misdemeanor charge where a person sends an email, instant message, or text message, referencing the name, domain address, phone number, or identifying information of another person without consent and with the intent to harm or defraud.
