Is it legal to record someone without knowing them and use them in court in the State of Texas?
I'll go crazy divorce / Custody battle in the State of Texas. My soon ex-husband said he had recorded telephone conversations without knowing me, and let me know he thought of using it in court. I'm not worried about it, I have not spoken to him on the phone, because I had to put an injunction against him for harassment. It is no conversation to be recorded. I wondered if it was legal to do so, because I know that in Oklahoma, where I live, is not legal.
No, it is not illegal as long as the recorder is a participant in conversation, regardless of not even talk. It is fair to say that listening is illegal. Check out this link http://www.divorcenet.com/states/texas/txart31
