Scott v. State
The harassment statute was deemed unconstitutionally vague. The provisions of Penal Code 42.07 ยง(a)(4) and (7)
are too broad to determine whether the defendant's actions in leaving a
series of late-night voicemail messages while intoxicated for his
ex-wife violated the statute. The Court noted that similar language in
an earlier version of Texas' stalking statute was held unconstitutional
in Long v. State, 931 S.W.2d 285 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).
