Re: Sued in 1998 - Statute of Limitation.
The statute of limitations applies to the time between when a debt is due and when suit is filed on the debt. Once the suit is filed and a judgment obtained, the statute of limitations does not apply. A judgment is valid for ten years in Texas and may be renewed for another ten years. It continues to accrue interest each year.
