Newly released court documents provide a detailed narrative of the investigation that led to the arrest of a Live Oak resident accused of unlawfully disclosing another person’s home address on social media, expanding on facts The Hawk’s Eye reported earlier and clarifying how police developed probable cause for a criminal charge in Bexar County. The affidavit outlines a sequence beginning with a harassment complaint made by the accused, followed by investigators’ review of social-media activity, direct police contact with the person whose address appeared online, and the discovery of an additional post days later that investigators said repeated the same identifying information. 

An arrest warrant issued January 29, 2026, charges Christina Marie Lichtenberg, 40, with unlawful disclosure of an address or telephone number under Texas Penal Code §42.074(b), a Class B misdemeanor.

Harassment Complaint and Political Dispute Preceded Investigation

According to the affidavit, the investigation began January 14, 2026, when Lichtenberg contacted the Live Oak Police Department to report harassment connected to Facebook interactions involving disagreements about Live Oak city politics. Investigators wrote that the exchanges between Lichtenberg and a male individual had been occurring periodically since October 2025 and that most of the interaction occurred the night of January 13, 2026.

Early-Morning Facebook Post Contained Name and Address

Court records state that at 1:03 a.m. on January 14, Lichtenberg created a public Facebook post directed at the individual identified in the affidavit as the victim while also mentioning the Live Oak Police Department. Investigators wrote the post accused the victim of being associated with a police-related citizen program and included a clown emoji and laughing emoji while threatening to file a harassment report. The post included an image of a document titled “Notice to Cease and Desist – Defamation and Harassment” that displayed the victim’s first and last name along with his home address and apartment number, which investigators said made the private information publicly visible. 

The affidavit states a second attached image showed the same letter with yellow highlighted dots obscuring the address, but another image in the same post revealed the full address, meaning the identifying information remained publicly accessible. 

Private Message Sent Before Public Disclosure

Investigators documented that the same letter had been sent to the victim through Facebook Messenger at 12:25 a.m. on January 14, 2026, before the public Facebook post. The affidavit states the victim dismissed and deleted the message, but Lichtenberg later provided police with a screenshot showing the message had been sent. The affidavit further notes that the privately sent version of the letter did not contain the yellow highlighted dots covering the address. 

Police Contacted Victim Before He Knew of Post

The affidavit states investigators later located the victim’s phone number and contacted him as part of the incident and harassment investigation. According to the document, the victim was unaware the Facebook post had been made because he was asleep at the time and learned of the disclosure only after police notified him. Investigators wrote that the victim became upset upon learning his personal information had been publicly shared and expressed concern that someone could harm him and he indicated he wanted to pursue charges. 

Statements Captured on Body-Camera Video

According to the affidavit, investigators reviewed body-camera footage from the officer who responded to Lichtenberg’s harassment complaint. During that interaction, the affidavit states Lichtenberg acknowledged she possessed the victim’s address and phone number and said the information had been provided by an unnamed friend. Investigators wrote she admitted sending the letter privately but did not disclose during the report that she had publicly posted the letter on Facebook. 

The affidavit also states that as she discussed the message, Lichtenberg opened her cellphone and showed the officer a digital document containing the victim’s identifying information and remarked that she noticed the victim had deleted the private message. 

Additional Facebook Post and TikTok Activity Days Later

Investigators wrote that at 8:56 a.m. on January 14, 2026, after making the harassment report, Lichtenberg posted again on Facebook demanding disciplinary action against the victim and removal from a citizen program sponsored by the police department. The affidavit states investigators confirmed the victim was not affiliated with the police department other than being a resident. 

The affidavit also references a January 18, 2026, TikTok post attributed to the account “texaswatchdogs,” which investigators linked to Lichtenberg through matching profile images and connections to her Facebook page. Investigators wrote the TikTok post again displayed the letter containing the victim’s full address, included derogatory remarks, and stated the victim had been cited for harassment, which investigators determined was not accurate and described as misinformation posted to harm the victim’s reputation. 

Department Announcement Followed Arrest

The Live Oak Police Department later publicly confirmed the arrest in a social-media post dated January 30, 2026, stating that officers had served an arrest warrant for unlawful disclosure of a residence address or telephone number under Texas Penal Code § 42.074. The department described the statute as one commonly referred to as “doxing,” noting it was enacted in 2023 and amended in 2025 to include disclosures made through electronic communications. The post stated that during a recent investigation a citizen reported that doxing had occurred, charges were submitted, and an arrest warrant was issued for Christina Lichtenberg on the alleged offense.
