Can a cop text a judge for a search warrant?

No, they have to actually go to the judge and present the evidence showing that the warrant is necessary. If the judge approves, he has to sign the warrant for it to be legal. The officer must then have it with them when they go to wherever the warrant is for. The warrant is also only good for 24 hours, unless otherwise specified.Added: An officer applying for a warrant does NOT have to produce evidence to the judge of the offense, he only has to swear an oath that Probable Cause exists for the search and/or arrest. Also - although an issuing judge MAY place a service time limit on the warrant, they do not necessarily automatically expire within a 24 hour time limit.

Is there a statute of limitations on misdemeanors gone to warrant?

A 'statute of limitations' is the time limit in which the authorities have after the committing of the crime, to begin prosecution procedings. If a warrant has been issued, then that could mean one of two things: - Prosecution has begun, and a bench warrant was issued due to a failure to appear at court. This warrant NEVER expires. It can only be cancelled. - If the crime was committed, an arrest warrant was issued for a suspect at large. Typically the time limit would be frozen during the time the suspect is on the run. A valid case of the statute expiring would be if the crime was committed but no one knew about it for X amount of years, or no suspect was identified. But there's no way to escape from the procedings once started.
