If you have a warrant for failure to appear is it good in other states?

The database entry will list whether or not the originating state is willing to extradite you back to their state. If it is a minor charge (that you didn't go to court on), they probably won't spend the money to have you transported back; if it's a serious crime, and they want you back, you will be arrested and charged as a fugitive, there will be an extradition hearing and (most likely) the originating state will have you transported back to appear in court.

Nearly forty percent of felony warrants aren't even entered into NCIC (National Crime Information Center), which is accessible by computer to law enforcement. If it is a misdemeanor, it might not even be in NCIC and even if it is, chances are they won't extradite you over that unless your warrant for FTA is over a probation violation, in which case you probably will be sent back. When you sign the papers agreeing to probation, you agree that you will waive your right to extradition, so running to another state is useless in that scenario.
If you didn't appear in court for a sentencing hearing unrelated to probation, and it is a misdemeanor, and you left the state, then it might not even be in NCIC and if it is they are likely not going to waste their time, money and resources/logistics to come down and pick you up. Remember, they have to fly out to come get you and bring you back. Would they do that over a misdemeanor? Doubtful. Over a felony? Yes, probably.

How do you obtain a bench warrant?
Generally, a bench warrant is a process initiated by a court in order to arrest a person. They are different from regular warrants in that they can be issued directly to the police in non-criminal cases. When a bench warrant is used to compel you to appear in court you should follow the order in the warrant. A bench warrant can be issued for some behavior that takes place in the courtroom such as disruptive behavior or disrespect toward the judge. It can be issued for failure to report for jury duty, failure to appear in court when you have been summoned to appear or failure to make child support payments. Most bench warrant arrests are made when the person is stopped by police for some other reason such as a traffic violation. If you are arrested on a bench warrant or you know one has been issued against you you will need to hire an attorney to represent you in the situation.

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.
Is it mandatory that a 16-year-old go to court for a speeding ticket if it is a certain mph over the speed limit?
Many states have regulations requiring that minors appear in juvenile court when they commit a misdemeanor. If the minor signed the ticket, agreeing to appear in court and comply with the law, it would probably be best to do just that. Failure to appear will result in a bench warrant. Further failure to comply will result in a visit from an officer to haul you to jail so that you'll be required to appear. If you refuse to obey the law, the juvenile court judge can get pretty nasty and suspend your driving privileges, among other options. Just do what you
