I'm not sure if it really is or not. Might want to look into that..? What would make someone ask that..? And if you only spit on them, then probably it's not a crime. Unless they file charges for assault maybe..?
I am not a lawyer, so seek professional assistance if needed all I'm doing is joining the discussion
Texas penal Code Sec 22.01
Assault
(a) A person commits an offense if the person:
(3) intentionally or knowingly causes physical contact with another when that person knows or should reasonably believe that the other will regard the contact as offensive or provocative
With that being said the question is, is spitting on someone considered contact? according to the dictionary, contact- is the act or state of touching. so if you knowingly send your saliva out of your mouth and it touches someone else, and that someone considers the act offensive then I must believe the "spitter" has committed a Class C Misdemeanor, in Texas that's ussually up to a $500 fine.

What does it mean to dream someone is spitting?
Spitting probably is a universal expression of disgust and rejection. So, assuming you had negative emotions in the dream, it expresses your own disgust and rejection of something. On the other hand, if someone was spitting AT or ON you in the dream, it illustrates your feeling rejected and despised by others.
