Technically, when he contacts you after you have asked him to not contact you, it's harassment. Your local police can take a report and advise you about a protection from harassment order. He isn't going to be arrested or anything dramatic, but a police officer will likely give him a call and explain to him that repeatedly texting you after you told him not to is a crime.
I know it seems harsh, but getting him to stop contacting you is step one. Its very empowering to be in control of something as well. If you decide to take this step, stick to the facts, leave emotions out of it when reporting it.
This is just a suggestion. I've said before, I can only offer suggestions based on my life experience. This step will deter most people from contacting you again.

I hope you find peace soon so you can work on healing and living your best life.
Thank you for your suggestion @RollercoasterLover.

I feel this is a bit extreme for what I am dealing with though. He sent that text, I replied with a very brief reply that clearly communicated "leave me alone", and he did leave me alone for the remainder of the day.

I am just astounded by his lack of pride when sending these types of pleading texts.
