My question is. I was in Texas in 1997. I was pulled over by the Police and they found less then a line of cocaine on the passenger floor of my car. i went to jail and seen a judge the next day. They read me what i was accused of and sent me on my way to find a lawyer. I choose to skip bail move away and go into the U.S. Army. this was about 10 yrs ago. If I remember right. I was charged with Illegal possession.
I was wondering if there is a statue of limitations on this and if not what would my option be at this time.
thank-you for your time and patience on this issue.

I was just wondering if you can explain the statute of limitations for Texas to me. I read the Texas Code and still do not understand. I was pulled over for my third DWI, after court I left town, that was ten years ago. Can I still be prosecuted today if I go back? Whats the next step? I want to stop running, I would like to return to Texas.
Thompson (if that is your real name, haha):
The statute of limitations is inapplicable in most cases, as long as they file the charges within the statutory period.
Chances are pretty high that they did that.
Short version? They don't have to prosecute you within the statute, merely indict you for the felony charge.
Having said that, you should still probably contact a criminal defense lawyer in whatever county in Texas the arrest was made, so that they can at least look into it for you.

I was in Bexar county for a very short time with the U.S.Army, 1 Nov 2003 - 28 Feb 2004. During that time I got pulled over for DWI, injured myself and it required medical attention. But I was required to do a breathalyzer (which I failed). Went to the hospital and received my much needed medical attention. Fell asleep in the waiting room, when I woke up the officers were gone and I was left with a piece of paper with my results of the breathalyzer. There was no ticket, no court date, nothing. Now here it is 2008 and I am now a disabled veteran, and receiving state and military benefits. I received a letter 14 nov 2008 saying my state benefits are going to be suspended cause I have a warrant out for my arrest. So I called Bexar county to find out what for. They commented they can't discuss it over the phone but I either have to turn myself in or when and if I get stopped I will be transported back to Bexar county. Why are they just now trying to indict this on me? Can they do this? The statute of limitations for this offense in Bexar county, Texas is 2 yrs. Does this make sense to anyone else? PLEASE HELP ANY ADVICE IS APPRECIATED.

In Nueces County TX. on 5/20/2001 I was charged with doing 77 mph in a 65 and DWI I went to jail bonded out, went to my arraignment pleaded not guilty the judge scheduled me a court date, Here is the promblem. The judge ordered me to go to trial on 1/21/2001. Obviuosly I didnt make this date since it had already passed. I got married moved to DE which is where I am from. However DE is showing that I am wanted in TX. to date for a failure to appear. What do I do? Does the statute of limitations applie to me in this matter?
In September of 2007 I was pulled over in Greenville, TX. Initially charged with failing to stop (I continued to drive for two blocks, total, with hazards on, 15 mph in a 35 mph zone attempting to signal the officer of my intentions to pull over to the next side street). The officer, after discovering my prior-record, took it upon himself to turn his charge of failure to stop into a felony evasion. After release on bond, I moved back to San Francisco, CA hoping to save up enough money to afford an attorney to help me through this ordeal. A judge in SF informed me that I had a $1000 bond on a felony in TX and proceeded to ask "How on Earth does one get such a LOW bond on a felony?" and "What was REALLY going on in Texas?" My quesions are these- What is the statute of limitations on such a charge, how long are officers' dashboard cameras records kept, and what are my options?
I learned from SSI that I had a warrant for my arrest from Bexar Co. TX. I recieved the complaint after paying for it and it states I wrote a check for under $1500, a misdeamnor, of Feb. 98, which I did not move to TX till July 98. Anyways the plaintiff filed April 99, for some reason theres a warrant for my arrest. I have been a law-abiding citizen since then. What is the statue of limitation and what can I do? Along with the complaint papers I received, there was a notice from the Bexar Co. Court dated 1/02 about a 'notice to dismiss on constitutional ground field', which I do not know what that means. Any help is appreiciated.
Also, noted with the above statement, I have not lived in TX since Feb. 99.

In 1986 my husband was picked up for dui, bonded out and was advised by an Abilene lawyer to go back to Calif and forget it. In 1993 he lost his leg and is disabled.Last month stopped his payments because SSI claims it is a felony but the court says it is a misdemeanor. Court clerk says we need and lawyer to resolve it. They are calling it a bond forfiture and won't tell us any more. Can a Calif lawyer handle the case or just a Texan?

There is a man in jail in Potter County Amarillo Texas. He has several charges but the fines totaled not even $1,300.00. I know that he receives $100.00 credit per day which would mean his fines have already been met. The question I have is can they just hold him indefinitely without giving him some kind of information on why he is still there?
Is there a statute of limitations on felony cases that were probated but probation was never completed?

25 years ago, when I was young and stupid, I was arrested for indecent exposure. I served time in jail and paid my fines and I thought I had paid my dues. A year later, I moved out of state and got married, have three children and am leading a productive life. Yesterday, I received a letter from the Travis County Probation Department stating that my case was still opened and that a warrant was being issued. I called and the Probation Department says that I still owe them money and that since my case was still opened after 25 years, I am being threatend with a warrant. What is the statute of Limitations regarding this case?
