Generally, if you say to someone "I am going to beat the hell out of you", it is called assault. If the person tells you that and follow through with a blow, that is assault and battery.

I was just in this situation. You can be charged with aggravated harassment and if you try to fight this as I did you really have no chance in hell. I was falsely charged with this and was arrested hired a private attorney and after a long time and right before a trial I had no choice and plead. Aggravated harassment is if you threaten someone by phone, e-mail, mail or just do something to annoy or alarm someone repeatedly.You can most likely go to your precint to file a report or to your courts. Hope this helped.

In Canada it is simply known as uttering threats
Assaults
Uttering threats
264.1 (1) Every one commits an offence who, in any manner, knowingly utters, conveys or causes any person to receive a threat
(a) to cause death or bodily harm to any person;
(b) to burn, destroy or damage real or personal property; or
(c) to kill, poison or injure an animal or bird that is the property of any person.
Punishment
(2) Every one who commits an offence under paragraph (1)(a) is guilty of
(a) an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years; or
(b) an offence punishable on summary conviction and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding eighteen months.
Idem
(3) Every one who commits an offence under paragraph (1)(b) or (c)
(a) is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years; or
(b) is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction.
They are a matter that that the Crown Attorney will not always proceed with, but a police report about same will likely get you a protection order.

It all depends on the state and the threat itself. In Texas, there are several different laws, such as assault, terroristic threats, and disorderly conduct which make this illegal.
