Police on Feb. 8 cited Loflin over his conversation on a street with a neighbor and the man's 13-year-old daughter.
The Galveston County Daily News reported Thursday that Loflin allegedly used a vulgar term for feces three times when talking about their cats messing in his yard.
Loflin says he never meant to incite Michael Rainey or his daughter.
But Rainey says a "little piece of America died" when a jury says it's OK to curse in front of a 13-year-old "when asked not to."
Juror John-Paul Caro says lack of evidence and additional witnesses prompted Tuesday's acquittal.
