Source? That sounds like it would run afoul of the 1st amendment. Most likely it's actually implemented as something vague like "intimating a public official", and prosecutors use the threat of a charge to bully people into stopping.
Good link. That restricts certain specific records. I wonder if it has been challenged.

"... restrict public access of their residence address in tax appraisal records..."

If they took a mortgage on property, the document with their name is usually recorded by county clerk and recorder.
