Yes. The fact that you have been a fugitive stopped any statute of limitations clock.

What is the statute of limitations for a DWLI in Texas?
That depends on what you mean. If you mean "how long can I be arrested for DWLI" then the answer is "as long as you're driving on an invalid license or privilege." DWLI 1st is a Class B Misdemeanor. DWLI beyond the first is a Class A Misdemeanor. Misdemeanors in Texas generally have a statute of limitations of 2 years - meaning that a department or court may bring charges within 2 years of the date of the offense. Hope this helps.

A Misdemeanors Lawyer Can Clear Your Record?
A misdemeanor is a crime that is less serious than a felony crime. Every state has the ability to determine which offenses qualify for a misdemeanor or felony status. A misdemeanors lawyer can effectively represent a defendant charged with a misdemeanor offense. A misdemeanor offense is generally punishable by a fine, community service, or jail time. The jail time can not be more than a year for a misdemeanor offense. A felony is a serious crime that is punishable by at least a year in prison. Each jurisdiction classifies the offenses into the felony or misdemeanor category. Typical misdemeanor offenses include one of the following crimes: prostitution, petty theft, public intoxication, simple assault, drug possession, or vandalism. These are just some of the offenses that are classified as misdemeanors in many states. A misdemeanors attorney can help prevent a person from getting a more severe fine and jail time. Misdemeanors are classified into different categories. There are three basic categories of misdemeanors. The most serious offense is the class A misdemeanor. The class B misdemeanor is the least severe of the misdemeanors.... Additionally, defendants do not usually lose their civil rights with a misdemeanor conviction. There can be the loss of certain privileges including appointment to a public office, professional license, or public employment. Different jurisdictions classify the misdemeanors into different categories. The classification determines what punishment the person will receive. It determines whether there will be a fine or jail time or both. It is a good idea to hire a misdemeanors lawyer; this person can help mitigate the case to minimize the effect it will have on your criminal record. Two people can be arrested for the exact same misdemeanor and receive different punishments depending on their representation. Some misdemeanors can be expunged from your record. For example, a class C misdemeanor is eligible for expungement if the person has completed deferred adjudication or community service. This takes some time. It can take up to six months for the expungement process to be completed. Once the record is sealed or expunged, the person does not have to admit to ever being arrested or convicted of the offense. It is like the offense never happened in the eyes of the law. The only place that a person may have to admit to the offense is in court under oath. Getting an attorney to expunge the record will open up many doors that have been closed to you. This can include employment, professional licenses, and school loans. There are a number of other things that are restricted to a person convicted of a misdemeanor.
Can you be arrested in one county for a misdemeanor charge in another?
If there was an outstanding warrant on the charge, yes. Also, in some jurisdictions there are, what is called "Probable Cause Misdemeanors" (i.e.- altho they are classified as misdemeanor offenses, they are of such a high or aggravated nature that law enforcement can arrest a perpetrator even after the event and/or the perpetrator has fled the scene).
What if you where placed on probation for driving while license suspended - is there still a statute of limitation for driving without the license?
There is a statute of limitations, but it does not matter. Each state sets their own statute of limitations, but it is normally 2-3 years for misdemeanor criminal and traffic offenses. The statute of limitations in a criminal case starts at the time that the activity is alleged to have taken place (time when you were said to have driven with a suspended license) and dictates the time in which you must be charged (the time in which you are arrested or ticketed). In most cases, you would be ticketed or arrested within minutes or hours of when you are alleged to have broken the law, and the statute of limitations would therefore not be triggered. Further, if you've been given probation, it means that your case has already been disposed of, either through trial or plea, and if you haven't yet raised the statute of limitations problem, it is too late.
What is Misdemeanor statute of limitations new york?
There is a statue of limitations for misdemeanors and felonys. but ONLY BEFORE ARREST. If it is AFTER ARREST, and you're going to court for it and end up bailing out, it turnes into a bench warrant for which there is NO statute for. Yes, meaning they last forever. Misdemeanor Statute If you remain in state, or the police think you are. The statute for a misdemeanor is 2 and a half years. If you leave, or the police somehow find out you did then the statute is 7 years. Misdemeanors are mostly state or tri-state area situations. If you plan on running, and are a good amount of states away there is a good chance that it will not show up if you get pulled over, or arrested. IT COULD MOST DEFINATELY SHOW UP, and in that case you would get arrested, or held because of it for up to "X" amount of days to allow New York to come get you (each states holding time is different, usually its a week to two weeks) If New York chooses not to get you, then you get released. Felony Statute both in state and out of state is 10 years PRIOR TO BEING ARRESTED. As with the misdemeanors, after a felony arrest - a warrant never goes away. The bad thing of a felony is that it goes in the national database, so There is NO WAY IN HELL that it will not appear if you get arrested out of state, or pulled over. ALL OF THE INFORMATION is my interpretation of all the information I have found, and could be COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY WRONG. But shouldn't be. So, reader beware.
