Got DWI 3wks after turning 21. I am now 36, and dont even drink anymore. If I establish residence out of TX can I get it expunged from my record? It is -killing- my insurance rates even all these years later?
It is the final disposition of a case, not the passage of time, that determines eligibility for expunction. Moving out of the State will have no affect on this issue. What was the disposition of the case?
Short answer is no, a citation will not be dismissed because the defendant didn't sign it.

Short answer: no, your citation will not be dismissed on the basis you describe.

The statute of limitations applies all cases except the offenses listed in Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 12.01 (1).
I was wondering what the statue of limitations is for filing an indictment. Also I have been requesting an attorney, court appointed, since I was arrested , and they have refused saying that I can't get a lawyer until my case is filed. I got a call on January 30 saying I have court on the... Read more »
The statute if limitations for the case you describe is three years from the date of the alleged offense.
Have this conversation with your lawyer. I'm not exactly sure what "this case" is (although I can guess, and lying about age is not a defense)

Convictions cannot be expunged. The only way to remove this from your record is via pardon from the Governor.
Without naming the controlled substance in the indictment
Any indictment can be challenged. Have this discussion with your attorney. Good luck.
The indictment you describe isn't "void", but discuss this matter with your attorney to discuss its sufficiency. Good luck.
The warrant is for theft under $100 from 2016. I have never stolen anything. The lady at the courthouse said the ticket was mailed to my old address.
