Can't block texts, but if the number shows up use this method to block incoming calls <a class="postlink" href="http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/how-to-block-phone-calls-on-your-android-smartphone/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/how ... martphone/</a>

You can block numbers in the settings, and can mark text messages as spam on most Samsungs, which Galaxy you got?

If you go to your phone logs and press and hold your finger on the relevant no, it will give you an alternative menu which gives you the option to add it a reject list.
Same with the messages you can register it as spam.

Hope this helps.
