Statute of Limitations

[txtowstep]

What is the name of your state? TEXAS

Statute of Limitations on misdemeanor assault in Texas , Speeding in Arkansas , and running a red light in Louisiana.

The first being the greater issue , any help would be great, Thank's

SOLs on such stuff is generally a year.

The kicker, however, is that you must be in the jurisdiction for the whole year. The SOL stops running once you leave the jurisdiction, then starts running again when you get back in the jurisdiction.

It would be kind of hard to be in all three states for a whole year waiting for the SOLs to run.

Another question would be "is that the jurisdiction of the town, county or state"? doesnt make much sence to me........but then again i'm not the one answering, i'm asking ..... lol

well, if you'd read my first post you's understand it's not me, and that the major concern is the assault charge not the tickets ..... but thanks for your imput ..... by the way, are you a real live judge ? if so, where if you dont mind me asking .
