Warrants for arrest do not expire. The courts do not just let you go if you have not paid your dues after a certain amount of time. The best choice now is to turn yourself in and get all of your business taken care of so you won't have that following you for the rest of your life. The longer you wait, the worse it will be.
It depends on the local and state laws, and depends on the crime. Some felony crimes have no statue of limitation so the warrant would never expire.
A bench warrant in ANY state is a warrant issued directly by the court, on its own authority, to take the named individual into custody.
A bench warrant is an order to immediately take the named individual into custody and deliver them directly to court. The SO will make an immediate attempt to serve the warrant at the individuals residence, place of work, or known 'hangouts.' If unsuccessful, they will keep up in the attempt and retain the warrant in file. If the judge orders it, they will enter it into the statewide and interstate criminal computer network (NCIC) with an extradition request. Bench warrants don't expire and there is no SOL attached to them.
it took about a week for me lol

As soon as you don't show up for the court date mandated on your ticket, your ticket becomes a bench warrant. So the answer to your question is instantly.
There is no 'set' time when warrants expire in the computer records system. It may depend on many things; what the offense is - the type of warrant - the statute of limitations on the offense (if any) - whether it is a country, state or federal warrant - etc- etc.
Yes, they can come to your house on the basis of a bench warrant.Added: A bench warrant indicates that it is issued directly by a judge or judicial officer. It is an order to law enforcement to take you into custody WHEREVER you may be located.
A bench warrant implies that your identity is known, therefore no SOL's would apply. What you shuld be worried about is that you will have your driver's license suspended or revoked (if it isn't already) and be ineligible to re-instate it unless/until you take care of your legal obligation.
Failure to Appear (bench warrants) do not have a statute of limitations. They remain valid until the named person appears before the court and the matter in question is settled or until the issuing judge and/or a court of appeals revokes the warrant.
The court will issue a warrant for your arrest.
