We have an individual calling local voters and identifying herself as the county clerk and encouraging the voter to vote for a particular presidential candidate. It's a stretch to reach "impersonating public servant." I would appreciate any input on how to proceed.

Section 255.005(a) provides: "A person commits an offense if, with intent to injure a cadidate or influence the result of an election, the person misrepresents the person's indentiy or, if acting or if acting or purporting to act as an agent, misrepresents the identity of the agent's principal, in political advertising or a campaign communication." It's a class A misdemeanor.

Since section 251.001(17) defines "campaign communication" as "a written or oral communication relating to a campaign for nomination or election to public office or office of a political party or to a campaign on a measure", your facts seem to implicate section 255.005. It might also implicate section 255.004(b), which delineates an offense if a person, "with intent to injure a candidate or influence the result of an election" knowingly "represents in a campaign communication that the communication emanates from a source other than its true source." That's a class A misdemeanor, as well.

All of this, of course, assumes your caller is not actually the county clerk. And we all know what happens when we assume anything.

We now have photographs of muliple caller ids with same point of origin. Thank you for your assistance!!!

Don't rely on just caller ID. For a few bucks, anyone can have any number, even yours, appear on the Caller ID screen of a number they have dialed.

There is an article about it here:

Or, just go to Google and enter "Spoof Caller ID"
