The only CRIME in Texas involving sexual harassment is "Abuse of Office" crime, and is defined in Penal code 39.03 as:
A public servant acting under color of his office or employment commits an offense if he ....: 3) intentionally subjects another to sexual harassment.
This is a class A misdemeanor.
I don't know if a person CAN run with Abuse of office conviction , but he will definitely not WIN.

Sexual harassment isn't a crime at all. It's an act for which the victim can sue in civil court.

I don't think so.
