It can be dismissed but not necessarily. The State must prove that the offense happened before the date on the charging instrument but within the statute of limitations.

Which date is wrong? Is it the date of the offense? Is it the date it was issued? Is the date correct on the information or indictment? Get an attorney to help you with this; you may be able to use this to get a dismissal, but you probably can't do it alone.
