Can anyone point me to any websites where I can read up on the Texas law regarding accessing and reading another person's personal email without their permission? The email was not associated with work, just a personal hotmail or yahoo account. The person who did this did not have permission to access the account at anytime and was never given the login in or password. They also did not access the account for any monetary reasons. It appears they read the emails just to read the emails. This person also does not live in my house so the account was accessed from a different location, possibly their home. What legal rights do I have regarding this matter?

It's not Texas law, it's federal law. Accessing a computer without consent is a criminal violation.

I don't know a lot about the role of this man and his superior, but I would assume it is like a boss. Your boss has the right to read any of your email. Just like public places have the right to search you. Also, the superior may have demanded, but the man you were speaking with gave them up. Also, as I priest, you take a vow of celibacy (spelling?). If his superior suspected a non-platonic relationship going on, he has the right to know the facts because that could prevent this man from becoming a priest. His superior is most likely a mentor... so he is trying to do the right thing for this man... and probably make sure he is serious on becoming a priest.

Well if you accessed it at work then the would have the right. Otherwise I think it violates federal law as well. Sorry don't know the site. Why not just go to the State website and look it up?
