What is statute of limitations in Texas for a felony charge on credit card abuse?

Typically, the statute of limitations would be 7 years. However, it is important to understand that this applies to situations where a crime has been committed but no warrant was issued in the defendant's name. Even if the defendant's name is not known, a John Doe warrant can be issued. Once a warrant is issued for an offense, it NEVER goes away. It may become inactive after a period of time, say, 6 months. Even so, it can be reactivated easily by a LEO. Furthermore, if an LEO knows there is a warrant existing in your name, he may lawfully arrest you EVEN IF THE WARRANT IS INACTIVE. After arrest, the warrant may be re-activated. So...the truth of the answer to your question is...never.


What are the types of warrants?

Alias warrant - defendant fails to show up for initial appearance after a citation is issuedBench warrant - defendant fails to show up for a scheduled court dateCapias warrant - defendant fails to pay fine after guilty verdict or plea Parole revocation (aka blue warrant) - self explanatoryAlso, whatever state you are in there are regions and if a unpaid citations turns into a warrant it will be in that region it was issued but will not show up in other regions. And then there are state warrants, for example: Texas state warrant is a TCIC which will show up on a check throughout the state, unlike a NCIC which--as you guessed--will show up over the country. Then there are International warrants that (I do not remember the abbreviation) mean when issued you are wanted by INTERPOL--which is not very good.
