A little hard to help when there are so many unanswered questions but here is a stab. He is apparently on a felony probation and picked up a misdemeanor charge. You believe that his medications provide an excuse for his actions which resulted in the misdemeanor charge. It is unlikely that medications caused someone to commit an offense. Even though he disclosed his new charge to his p.o., his p.o. was obligated to notify the court that he had violated. The court made the decision to file a motion to revoke his probation. Once he goes to court on the revocation motion, the court can?revoke the probation, modify the probation (to add conditions and / or extend it), or just dismiss the allegations of violation and let him continue his probation. He needs a lawyer.

In Texas, ALL misdemeanor cases (classes A and B) have a 2 year statute of limitations.  That time period can be tolled (that is, stop running) if it can be proven that the defendant left the state and set up residence elsewhere.  It continues to run once the individual returns to the state.  As with anything else, the State has the burden to prove that there is a reason for the statute of limitations to be tolled.  Yes, terroristic threat is a 2 year statute of limitations. I hope that helps.
