Statute of Limitations

[Bubba1969]

What is the name of your state? TX

I wrote some bad checks nearly 17 years ago when I was a college student living in TX and was wondering whether or not the statute of limitations would have wiped these out? While I was never arrested or went to court, I also never resolved these. If it matters, the total amount of all the checks would have been well under $1,000.

It depends on if a warrant was ever issued.

warrant

If a warrant was issued, then what?

 

[Mike101]

Warrants if they get to old might get recalled by the clerk. They can always get reissued.
Safe bet is to expect that a warrant that has not been served is usually good intill 2 hours after you have died.

warrrant

Other than getting an attorney, is there any way for me to find out if there is still (?) an warrant outstanding?

 

[Mike101]

Call the courthouse.

warrant

I'll try calling (again) but did not have luck when I tried this about 10 years ago. When I called last time, they told me I would have to come in person to make that determination. I live out of state and besides obviously not interested in showing and getting arrested.

 

[Mike101]

I would seriously doubt that there are any warrant(s). That is a lot of years gone by. Probably have a problem finding a victim or anyone who might know anything about the case. I wouldn't worry to much about it.
