Warrants do not expire in any US state. After a given period of time a warrant will be designated as "cold", meaning that authorities are no longer actively seeking the person. However, if the named person is stopped by police for any reason, the warrant will most likely appear in a background check and the person will be arrested. Most warrants will also be brought to the attention of the DMV, when a license or state ID is applied for or renewed.
