Which crime includes sending repeated electronic communications to harass, annoy, or offend?

Silent or Abusive Calls to 9-1-1 Service

Prostitution

Preventing execution of Civil Process

Harassment

Sending repeated electronic communications to harass, annoy, or offend is classified as harassment. This behavior can encompass various forms of communication, such as emails, text messages, social media messages, or phone calls. The Texas Penal Code defines harassment as intentionally communicating in a manner likely to harass, annoy, alarm, abuse, torment, embarrass, or offend another person. Therefore, the correct answer is D.

In contrast, the other options do not specifically pertain to sending electronic communications to harass, annoy, or offend. For example, option A refers to silent or abusive calls to 9-1-1 service, option B pertains to prostitution, and option C involves preventing the execution of civil process, none of which directly relate to the scenario described in the question.
