He was drunk and ran into a tree and I was badly hurt and that is why he has that charge. They never arrested him, they just sent him a ticket in the mail saying court date to be set and after that he never received any notice when his court date was. Then recently he got pulled over for no seat belt and was taken in because he had a warrant for the intoxication assault charge but no notice was ever sent to him. Now he has to go to court in november but it has been already three years since the wreck. What do you think they are going to tell him since its been so long and what might be the consequences? please respond.

The fine was around $500 but as a full time student, I just don't have that kind of money. Is the statute of limitations over in this case? Can I go get my license reinstated before my old one actually expires???? Or will they try to fine or possibly arrest me?

I have $3000.00 in surcharges that have not been paid. Is there a statute of limitation to when i can get my license back after a certain time, or am i stuck with the surcharges. If i had an extra $3000.00 I would just pay them. But with my situation I can't afford to do so. Any info on this would be appreciated.

I have lived in Kansas since late 1983. All fines were paid and time was served before moving to KS and my dl was reinstated. I have been driving on a valid KS dl for 27 years now. I was told recently that my KS dl was cancelled for a revocation/suspension out of the state of AZ dated 1983. I have a spotless KS record, yet I am told that after all this time i need to submit a revocation investigation packet to the AZDOT but as I look at these forms (#99-0139) they do not really apply to a case this old. I went through a substance abuse evaluation, (court ordered), just after the second conviction. They require exact arrest dates blood alcohol levels and the alcohol counselors name and credentials on both arrest, again 27 years ago and I have no idea the answers and the dot refuses to let me know what they were. I am expected to pay money to an independent counselor for a substance abuse evaluation and am unemployed and cannot afford. This really seems ridiculous after over a quarter of a century of having no like problems. I now cannot even look for a job because i am not allowed to drive and will no longer be able to draw unemployment because i am not on a job search weekly.
A copy of the above mention form can be found at; http://mvd.azdot.gov/mvd/formsandpub/mvd.asp?txtNumber=99-0139

This seems at least illegal persecution if not only unfair.
Any advice would be appreciated.

That was 26 years ago, and they are using that against me in my current legal problem. Isn't there some kind of statute of limitations? 26 years, gimme a break!

Completed the mandated classes, but did not complete the community service nor did I pay the fines for the DUI. Have not had a license since. Is there a statute of limitation I should be aware of?

But that's no longer the case.
My 1st was in 1981 in Cameron county. 2nd was in 2009 Dallas County. It was enhanced to DWI 2nd. Even after 30yrs it can be used to enhance?
