Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Re: Judgement against me

In Texas a judgment is enforceable for 10 years. If a writ of execution is not issued to collect the judgment during that 10 years, then it is considered dormant. It can be revived. It must be revived within the next two years, however.

You need to contact the clerk of the county that filed the judgment against you. That clerk can provide evidence that the judgment is more than 10 years old, is dormant, and that more than two years have elapsed, and the judgment has not been revived.

The end result being that the judgment is now lapsed, and you are no longer subject to the judgment. Austin will then release the conditions on your driver's license.
