Statue of Limitations for a speeding ticket?

What is the name of your state? Texas

Im not from Texas, but I got a speeding ticket about 2-3 years ago there; 20 over in a work zone. My question: Is there a statue of limitations? I was told by a police officer when I got home not to pay it. 'You can't be formally charged if you never paid'
Ive been worried ever since, but the fine was well over 700 which I didnt/dont have. After reading on another post in this site that the Sat of Lim doesnt run out crossing state lines (DUI/DWI) kind of has me wondering. Anxiously awaiting

There is no statute of limitations. The SOL only applies to being charged, that happened when you were given the ticket. Google "States Drivers License Compact" and/or "Non Resident Violators Compact". And don't be surprised if your current license is suspended.

There is no STATUE of limitation on speeding tickets, but the is a STATUE of LIBERTY on ellis island.
