Summary

In Texas, the statute of limitations for breaching an NDA is generally 4 years from the date of the breach. The discovery rule can extend this period if the breach was inherently undiscoverable. If a breach occurred 7 years ago and was only recently discovered, it may still fall under the discovery rule, but specifics vary. Texas mandatory reporting laws typically apply to individuals within the state. For sexual assault cases, there is no statute of limitations if the victim is under 17; if the victim is 17 or older, the limit is 10 years. Affirmative defenses can impact prosecution but do not guarantee immunity. Consulting a legal professional is advisable for personalized advice.

What do you mean it could have serious implications?

Speaking with a legal professional is advisable.
why could someone fsce prosecution with an affitmative defense?
An affirmative defense doesn't automatically absolve a person of legal responsibility. It presents facts that, if proven, will defeat the legal claims against them. However, the burden of proof rests on the defendant, and if they fail to sufficiently prove their defense, they may still face prosecution.
So if someone has an affirmative defense will the prosecuting district qattorney be more likely to give a plea deal?
A plea deal depends on various factors including the strength of the evidence, the nature of the crime, and the credibility of the affirmative defense. The prosecuting district attorney will evaluate these factors before deciding upon a plea deal. Having an affirmative defense doesn't necessarily guarantee a plea deal.
