1 ANSWER
In most cases, if he is to remain in the juvenile court, prosecutor's must file the matter before age 18. If being prosecuted in a city or justice court for a misdemeanor, one year from the date of offense. If a felony, the normal statute is 7 years from the date of offense. Some crimes have no statute of limitations.
