Significant other now 68 years old with dementia, movement disorders, cancer may have received DWI and or DUI, on more than one occasion prior to 2002 He may have been in a jail, outside of Dallas Texas. Transferred to Dallas for release. A paid search about 2004 found no record of what seen prior downtown Dallas location where indication showed money owed. I worked security at time and asked law enforcement officers to check and each time no record found. It was suggested it was dismissed. David became sick in 2013 and even with hospital visits, disappearing from gas station which led to further hospital admittance, still checks with law enforcement found no record in counties he was to have been charged. It was not until he was in Lynnwood Washington skilled nursing facility in 2014 where he was removed by law enforcement as they were to have he checked after David supposedly called 911. Texas was to be on way for him. . David later did not recall making call. Next week he released with paperwork to show quashed withdrawn. 2016 he applied for affordable housing misdemeanor found at background check one day showed next day as felony (s). Can new charges be presented?

Answer

A criminal case can be filed by the State at any time prior to the expiration of the statute of limitations for any particular charge. All the information you provide about medical conditions is irrelevant; the same is true about any prior background checks. The only question that must be addressed: Is there any criminal case currently pending? Contact a local attorney in the county where you believe the case is filed and find out what is going on.
