In Texas, ALL misdemeanor cases (classes A and B) have a 2 year statute of limitations. That time period can be tolled (that is, stop running) if it can be proven that the defendant left the state and set up residence elsewhere. It continues to run once the individual returns to the state. As with anything else, the State has the burden to prove that there is a reason for the statute of limitations to be tolled. Yes, terroristic threat is a 2 year statute of limitations.
I hope that helps.
