I know the phone number can be changed but don't want to go that route.

What would be considered harassment? The messages aren't threatening or anything like that, they are just constant and annoying and this person has been told not to text anymore, but still continues.

There is no restraining order right now...
Let me explain the scenario....
I have a friend who was seeing a guy and they have broken up for the billionth time. She keeps sending him texts (kind of like drunk dialing, but texting) and he has told her to stop. She did it AGAIN last night. He texted her today to say he is on his way to get a restraining order against her. She is scared and I said I would check with you all to see if you really can get one for phone contact.

He isn't going to be able to get a "restraining order".
What he could do though is file a complaint for harassment in municipal court, then they could both miss work or school while they sit around in court.
Or he could just change his number.
Your friend may need some sort of therapy. It's not normal to keep contacting someone after they have told you to stop. Being drunk is no excuse.

yes, depending on state or locals laws of course. Any existing restraining order should cover it also. Make sure you save the offending messages, and try to get an impartial witness to observe them as they are received by you. Restraining orders generally cover ANY form of contact. so if you already have the order it's been violated.

If asking them to quit doesn't work. I doubt the restraining order would stop them. If there is no harassment, what would the court do to enforce the order?

Yes you can. But only if you can prove to the court that the person is threatening you with death

yes you could if you know who doing it just go to the police show them wear the person live or just tell them who the person is and they will deal with it.
