state laws vary. It can be dismissed by the appointed judge or the trial will be required to continue, without a verdict being rendered. or perhaps even the defendant being pardoned if they were held liable/found guilty.

Once statute of limitations has been met for credit card debt in Texas what can the collectors do to collect the debt?
If the SOL has expired there is nothing a creditor can do unless a lawsuit was filed before the SOL expired, which happens quite often. Simply because the SOL has expired does not mean the debtor will not be sued at some later date, most courts have a backlog of cases and the average time for a lawsuit to reach court is fifteen months from filing, usually longer. Even if the SOL has expired a creditor/collector may still attempt a lawsuit, it is up to the defendant/debtor to present the SOL defense, the court will not accept it as being an automatic dismissal of the case.

Not if you go to court! They cannot garnish your wages without going to court to get a judgment. If you fail to show up in court and simply tell the court that the debt is outside the statute of limitations, then you may have a judgment against you. And yes they can garnish your wages if a judgment has already been awarded. So go to court if it goes that far and immediately ask that the case be dismissed based on the statute.
