Statute of limitations means that the state has to file a formal charging instrument against you within a certain time period. In Texas, it is 2 years for a misdemeanor and 3 years (or more) for a felony.
If you were given a ticket/citation for the DUI, then technically you were charged with the crime.
You may want to consult a DUI attorney about this matter just to be sure before you travel to Texas again.
