Yes and no, with the exception of the state's Statutes of Limitations. Warrants are always valid until either served or withdrawn however, due to the never-ending stream of warrants being issued, there is only a certain amount of time and resources that can be expended on each individual one.
When a warrant becomes "old" or "cold" it will still remain 'active' and eventually the wanted person will either turn themselves in or re-offend, or somehow come to the attention of the authorities. When this happens the warrant will be served and closed out. Of course, as in all things, there are exceptions to this general rule especially in the instance of HIGH PROFILE cases. Some felony warrants, depending on the offense charged, NEVER expire.

Is a state issued felony warrant active nationwide?
Yes. Most all warrants (felonies in particular) are entered into the NCIC (National Crime Information Center) Computer which is linked to all states and US territories and certain international locations. The data in this computer is routinely available to even the smallest police agencies. When your name is 'run' (even for a traffic stop) this info is readily accessible and you will be placed under arrest and held while the arresting state contacts your home state to start extradition procedures. However, it should be noted that states ARE NOT required to enter their warrants or to enter them nationwide, some states only enter their warrants into their state system and some agencies do not enter misdemeanor warrants at all.
