How to get a former employer to remove my name, picture information from his website?

I never signed anything giving employer permission to post my photo or name but went along while I worked there even though I let him know I was not happy having my photo online. I left his employ only 6 weeks ago but emailed him to remove my name, all photos personal information immediately. I am in Dallas, Texas. I know it will not be immediate but there is still a photo up of someone who left over a year ago. My former employer has not responded to my email.

You can inform your employer that if your name , photo, and personal information are not removed within 24 hours, that you will file a lawsuit for invasion of privacy.
Invasion of privacy is the appropriation of one's name or likeness for commercial purposes without consent.
