Anyway to block text messages from specific numbers on Verizon S7's?

Hi, I have a negative tie with someone who will occasionally text me just to harass and piss me off and I wanna block his text messages. I did some research and it seems as if for whatever reason, the verizon s7 phone's sadly don't have this option? There has to be something I can do. I have trouble believing there's no way around this. I'm preferably looking for a method that won't need me to root my phone but worse comes to worse, I can probably do that too. Thanks.
