In general, arrest warrants do not carry a statute of limitations, although depending on the situation prosecution of an individual might not be possible. Once a warrant has been issued it remains valid until the person is taken into custody or voluntarily presents themselves to authorities and the issue is resolved in whatever manner required. Also, if you don't have the money to pay for the warrant, you will have to stay in jail and than wait for your court date and see what the judge says. It depends on what the warrant is for and how much the warrant is. It also depends on the judge. If it is an "outstanding warrant", you will most likely get sentenced under state law. It also depends on what state you live in. Look up your states directory of warrants and it will tell you about them.

How long can you stay in jail for failure to appear driving on suspended license in Alabama?
"Failure to appear" in Alabama will cause a bench warrant to be issued for your arrest. Usually, you would not be picked up on a bench warrant unless they run your ID for another reason and the warrant shows up. You will be taken to jail under the warrant and will remain there until (a) you post bond, or (b) you go to court. You will be assigned the "next available" court date, sometimes as long as 30 to 60 days out.

How long can someone sit in a FL jail for an out of state warrant for failure to appear in TX?
Usually the extridition time is 30 days if you waived your extridition rights. Meaning, if the arresting county hasn't picked you up in 30 days, the arresting jail has to let you out on bond. The other part of this question that is relevant is if it is a misdemeanor warrant in the other state. Most states do not hold out-of-state misdemeanor warrants. They usually dont' have the space or money to hold them. Hope this helps.

A failure to appear stays active until you appear and resolve the underlying charge. Failing to appear is not a new charge, and therefore is not adjudicated or added to a criminal record.
