This is an important piece of information that you need to keep with you until death; You CANNOT sue a person if you cannot prove a financial loss caused by the person. Her texting you is not causing you to lose anything financially so you would not be able to sue. No you would not be able to get a restraining order. Restraining orders are when you are in imminent danger of being harmed by a person. Simply being harassed through texting is not considered a physical danger to you. Your best route is after you change your phone number, if she gets that number to call the police and file a complaint with them. Harassment is a criminal offense. It just depends if it is considered an actual case of harassment. What you need to do now, and what the police would tell you to do now is to change your phone number.
