Revival of the Statute of Limitations by Partial Payment The applicable statute of limitations on actions involving promissory notes is six years. NMSA 1978, § 37-l-3(A) (1975). One way to revive an action on a contract and extend the statute of limitations is “by the making of any partial . . . payment” on the contract. See NMSA 1978, § 37-1-16 (1957). When a debt is revived, the statute of limitations starts anew. See § 37-1-16 (stating that “[s]uch a cause of action shall be deemed to have accrued upon the date of such partial . . . payment”); Corona v. Corona, 2014-NMCA-071, ¶ 12, 329 P.3d 701 (<HOLDING>).
