Online statements are often protected by free speech.  However, sometimes, the statement is illegal because it is untrue and harms a person’s reputation.  Statements of this nature are illegal in Texas.  This product shows a redacted copy of a petition, letter and response that was filed in a Harris County Court in 2019.   It can be helpful to see examples of what lawyers have filed when deciding how to deal with a situation.  Keep in mind that we do not verify or know whether the pleadings are used properly.  These are for example purposes only.
