My husband and I went to the city prosecutor to file charges against someone. After all paperwork was completed, the secretary informed us that my husband had 4 warrants for 12 year old speeding tickets issued in the city of Odessa, Texas. She told us that 2 of the tickets would be thrown out because the officers were no longer with the police department. BUT, we had to pay the other 2 (total $382) or she would call an officer to arrest my husband. That was our rent money. I am 7 months pregnant and have a 15 month old daughter. My husband is the only one working because of complications with my pregnancy and we have very limited income. I was told by several people that we should not have had to pay tickets that were that old because of Statute of Limitations. Is there any way that we would be able to get our money refunded? Should this have even been an issue because of how old the tickets are? Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Very Worried
