What is the name of your state? Texas
I was arrested for a Class A misdemeanor drug posession charge in 1997 in Austin, Texas. I was able, with the help of my Aunt vouching for me, to be released on a personal recognizance bond. Needless to say, this was at a real low point in my life...I was homeless, jobless, and broke. While endlessly waiting for the next court appearance (always delayed for some reason or another), I found a good job out of state, left, got my life in order, and basically never looked back at where my life was headed had I stayed in Texas.
Now, I'm looking at traveling back to the original jurisdiction for a month or two. Does the statute of limitations I've heard so much about on TV apply? How long does it take for the system to "forget" about someone in my situation? I was arrested by the Austin Police Department, and a search on their automated telephone system under my old drivers license number comes up with "no warrants". I have an out-of-state ID now, so I don't know what the deal would be should I be stopped and checked.
