Is it illegal to text an employee after work hours?

I keep getting texts about work related things but at night last one was at 11:30 at night and it's in a group chat to. My boyfriend thinks it's illegal and I think so to. But I'm not sure.

I live in California if other states are different.

It's not illegal in the U.K. I used to have a separate work phone which I'd switch off at 6.30pm
