Obscenity My client had worked in an adult bookstore in the 1980s. One day, the police came in, took photos, seized items from the store, asked my client his name and the name of the owner. He was not arrested. He stopped working at the store, finished his degree at the University of Texas, and went on with his life. Twenty years later, my client was about to visit the governor's mansion. But before DPS would let anyone in, they check to see if you have outstanding warrants. Lo and behold, my client did. Trouble was, since it had been 20 years since the offense allegedly happened, the State couldn't find its officer.
