Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas

I was pulled on a minor traffic violation "speeding" and was told there was a warrant for my arrest from Williamson county, Tx for theft of service. I spent the day in jail after I was arrested in front of my child and had to get someone to watch him. This happened May 3rd 2011.I wastold by my bail bondsmen to keep contacting Williamson County for my court date. This happened until I was repeatedly told there was no warrant by Williamson county DA. I fianlly recieved a letter staing that the statue of limitations had run out. I was never told what company, office or individual filed against me, in order for me to rectify this situation. All I was told there was no warrant and then provided a letter that stated the statue of limitaions had run. Should I follow this in order to find out what the hell I was arrested for in front of my child and then told oops there is no warrant?

You can sue Williamson County for false arrest. You'll have to hire a lawyer to do this, and it will be years before they settle. Go ahead and try to find a lawyer who will handle the case on a contingent-fee basis, but I doubt you'll find one.
