Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas

Statute of Limitations- Bad Faith

I understand that the statute of limitations defense against an old debt is affirmative and I must furnish proof to the court to that effect. However, is there any liability for a debt collector who files suit even in the face of obvious evidence that the statute has lapsed. (e.g. credit report shows last action date on account from 2002)
