Can you be arrested in Tennessee on a bench warrant if it was issued in Louisiana?

If it was issued for a misdemeanor or minor crime, it is unlikely that notification of the warrant was sent to the surrounding areas. That being said, if you are arrested in Tennessee for some other, unrelated, reason and your license is run, it is possible that you will be sent back to Louisiana to face charges.
The best option is to consult with an attorney who can contact the courts and receive information pertaining to your warrant. If you are listed as an attachment due to failure to appear in court, it may be possible to have that attachment lifted in return for agreeing to pay certain fines.
Depending upon the specifics of your case, it may also be possible to file an Expungement in Louisiana to have the files and documents associated with your case destroyed.

What is a fugitive from justice without a warrant charge?
This is not stating the type of charge he/she has, this just means that the person was detained and arrested because there is an active warrant out for the person outside of the state that they were arrested in. Here is an example of your question. A man owes child support in Michigan, failed to make payments, and now there is a warrant out for him. He no longer lives in Michigan and moved to Tennessee. He got pulled over for speeding in Tennessee and the police officer checked to see if there were any warrants, and there was a warrant issued from Michigan for failure to pay child support. So, the Tennessee Officer arrested him, and the reason for his arrest was "fugitive from justice without a warrant."

When the police book you in after they arrest you without a warrant can they charge you with a crime before they get a warrant in the state of Texas?
A warrant is an order for an arrest issued by the court. But many arrests do not need a warrant. If you punch someone in the face, and police are called, you will be arrested without a warrant, and one will not be needed. If say, you failed to show up in court, then a warrant for your arrest will be issued, to alert all officers that you should be arrested on sight. So the warrant itself is not the thing 'allowing' you to be arrested.
