Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Boyfriend was in his truck and a police officer was trying to stop him, he evaded, ran into a pole and was thrown from his truck. The police detained him at the hospital but released him because he had to be transported to another hospital. Is there a statute of limitations for this? He was not given a citation, served no jail time, and was not arraigned. Please advise.
