My question involves criminal law for the state of: TX
Over a year ago I was accused of having an affair with a married man that I did volunteer work with. I am also married and this man and I were only friends, although we did talk and text message often regarding our volunteer work and our lives. After his wife made the accusation, my husband and I met with her to assure her it wasn't true but she didn't believe it. He left our volunteer organization after she refused to stop contacting me about this "affair." She had threatened to hurt herself and called me out on Facebook until I blocked both of them. It's been over a year and I haven't heard from her until two weeks ago. Even thought I thought I had blocked her phone number, she texted and called me asking to meet with me and my husband. When I realized she was still insistent that I had an affair with her husband, I refused and told her to leave me alone. She threatened to contact my employer and my family members to tell them all what I had supposedly done. She has not threatened violence against me but I am concerned that it could escalate to that point. Her husband was right there with her and did nothing to stop her behavior so he is no help (there are signs she is emotionally abusive toward him) and she clearly is not going to let this go. Today I got a strange phone call at 7 am from an unknown number (I let it go to voicemail) from someone claiming to be a person from my husband's past asking to speak with him to catch up. She said she was from another state (coincidentally where my husband's family is from) and she mentioned she was a friend of this married man. The number was from a local area code so clearly not out of state and the mention of the other man was a red flag. My husband is aware of the situation and doesn't believe her but I am worried about her escalating behavior, especially because I have small children and I work in a somewhat high profile job.
Is there anything I can do? Should I call the police? Hire a lawyer? I looked up getting a restraining order but it only mentions family or dating relationships, and this is neither. I don't want her causing trouble for me with my job or my volunteer work and I don't want to cause any more trouble for her poor husband who has to live with her but I want her to leave me alone.
Any advice?
