Statute of Limitations on Traffic Tickets and Other Class "C" Misdemeanors in Texas
The discussion here relates to those Texas traffic violations that are classified as Class "C" misdemeanors, and does not include red light camera tickets which, in Texas, are civil rather than criminal matters.
The statute of limitations on traffic ticket violations and other Class "C" misdemeanors, in Texas, is two years. Be aware that this does not mean that traffic ticket violations and other Class"C" misdemeanors that are two years or older cannot be prosecuted. What it does mean is that once a violation is two years old, if a complaint has never been filed, then it is barred, and cannot be prosecuted. The complaint is not the citation issued by the officer. The complaint is a formal sworn document which meets the requirements of Chapter 45, Texas Code of Criminal Procedure.
On September 1, 2009, Texas codified it's then existing two year period of limitation on traffic ticket violations and other Class "C" misdemeanors, into the "statute of limitations".
The 2009 amendments to T.C.C.P. 27.14 and T.C.C.P. 12.02, raise two important questions regarding the status of the period of limitation on Class C misdemeanors prior to the amendments. First, whether there was any limitation at all? Second, if so, what tolled the running of the period of limitation?

Zombie parking fine from 2003
Just got a letter today from Linebarger & Associates, acting on behalf of the city, over a parking ticket from 2003.
Does the SOL run out on these like any other creditor, or is this different because it is a fine?
Also, there is a part at the bottom that tells me if I have filed bankruptcy that I can indicate it on the form and return it. I thought that bankruptcy does not release a debtor of fines. This was also not included in my petition. If I answer yes and return the form, does my bankruptcy do anything in this respect?
