Not sure there is a limitation. It's simply an outstanding ticket. note: where I live they will issue a warrant for your arrest and refuse to renew your license until you take care of the ticket.

A traffic ticket is a notice of violation. The statute of limitations is to prevent one from being accused of a crime when the witnesses may no longer be available and defense difficult. In this case, you have already been notified of the violation and have not defended against it in the time allotted. As such, a traffic ticket does not expire and is not subject to a statute of limitations.

Once a citation has been issued, there is no limit. The purpose of a statute of limitations is to avoid being surprised with charges years after the incident. In this case, you've already been charged.

What is Statute of Limitations for an expired meter parking ticket in Fort Worth Texas?

As laws vary from place to place, you would have to check with the issuing authority in Fort Worth to resolve this citation. Statute of Limitations is to prevent someone being accused of something years after it happened when witnesses are not available and memories are not fresh. A ticket eliminates this issue. Once a ticket has been issued, there is no requirement that there be any sort of time frame associated with resolving it.

What is the statute of limitations on a parking ticket in Texas?

There is no statute of limitations. The purpose of the statute of limitations is to prevent someone being surprised by being charged with a crime years after it occurred, when witnesses are no longer available and memories are foggy. A ticket being issued means that you already know about the crime. It sounds like you may have received one of those "old" tickets that have been coming out of Texas lately, some even back to the Eighties. If it is from a "law office" be very skeptical. Send in a demand for verification and a request for the court record. Usually they can't produce anything and will have to drop it. Do not ignore the letter since it is possible they could suspend your license.
