Statute Limitations Sexual Assault

I don't want to provide

What is the stature of limitations in texas for sexual assualt when the victim is *?

What if the victim is *?

Where do I find this in the texas penal code

What code?

I do not see *.*(*)(E)

I do not see *.*(*)(E) I do not see *.*(*)(E) in the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure

So there's no limitation?

When the code says "in this section" does that mean in the whole of *.*?

Or is it just letter "c"?

Can I give you the entire section?
