A West Lake Hills City Councilwoman was charged with misdemeanor harassment April 9. 

Cynthia Evans Probst was charged with the class B misdemeanor, and a warrant was issued for her arrest, but it was later rescinded and replaced with a summons to appear in court May 13. 

Probst was charged after she sent three text messages to a man, which he considered to be harassment, according to the arrest affidavit. 

Randy Leavitt, Probst’s attorney, said the case is under review, and the text messages are obviously not harassment. 

“I’m going to be very surprised if it goes any further than that,” he said. 

The maximum penalty for a class B misdemeanor is six months in county jail, a $2,000 fine, or both, according to Roger Wade, a spokesman for the Travis County Sheriff’s Office.
