Best Answer

Extradition procedure depends upon several mitigating circumstances, some of which could be: If an FTA bench warrant is issued, which indicates the person is also a fugitive from justice and in contempt of court. If there were injuries and/or property damage involved as a result of the person driving under the influence, that could result in additional criminal charges and/or civil action. The prior criminal history (if any) of the accused/convicted person. Extradition is an expensive and sometimes lengthy process so it is used sparingly. However, if the person has an active warrant of any type they will not be able to obtain a driver's license or legal documentation of indentity in any US state.

As a practical matter - because of the expense and hassle of it, most states will not bother to do so. HOWEVER - all US states and territories honor each other's requests for extradition - there are no 'safe-haven' states - it is impossible to know with certainty whether a particular state will choose to extradite you or not, there are simply too many variables. It may depend on the offense and the seriousness of it and/or how badly they want you returned - most states WILL extradite for felony offenses.

Will Washington extradite you back to Arizona on a misdemeanor warrant issued there?

Usually not in Texas, but have a better likelihood in Oregon or Idaho. But most often they will not extradite you even if you are in a neighboring county. I would take care of your warrant, because with the new flying disclosure law of names and birth dates they have been picking up more warrants out of the airport. So you may want to take care of the warrant so when you go on a vacation out of the country you are not arrested upon entry. Also See Discussion Page:

Will Texas arrest you on a misdemeanor warrant issued in Washington state?

It depends on what you are doing in Texas and what the offense was in Washington. Remember that by fleeing the state of Washington ,with an open warrant, you will not start the statute of limitations time period. This warrant may come back in 40 years and bite you. It will remain fresh as a daisy and waiting for you if you get into ANY arrest situation anywhere.ALSO: All US states and territories honor each other's requests for extradition - there are no 'safe-haven' states - it is impossible to know with certainty whether a particular state will choose to extradite you or not, there are simply too many variables.
