There is no time limit on the Failure to Appear. It will remain valid as long as it is outstanding. However, a defense may be raised that the State failed to make reasonable efforts to serve the warrant. If the State fails to show reasonable efforts the case can possibly dismissed. you need to retain an experienced criminal trial lawyer to file such a motion. The age of the case also work in your favor. Witnesses may have relocated or disappeared and evidence may have been lost. THESE COMMENTS ARE NOT LEGAL ADVICE. They are made available by the out-of-state lawyer for educational purposes only. Actual legal advice can only be provided after consultation by an attorney licensed in your jurisdiction. Answering this question does not create an attorney-client relationship or otherwise require further consultation.
