Call the clerk of the court and explain the situation. You may have an additional fine or charge for failure to appear or for contempt of court, but most judges don't want you arrested for a speeding ticket anymore than you want to be arrested. Almost all courts are well familiar with this kind of problem and will have a mechanism in place to help you through it.
Yes you can! Any unpaid tickets can cause you a lot of problems. The courts will see that your not paying them or making any attempt to take care of them, and then a warrant for your arrest will be issued.!
Wow, ten years! You would have to show proof that it was paid or dismissed. If warrant was issued then courts have no proof of this. Need to contact lawyer and show the proof.
Go or call to the court or the police department that issued the citation. Don't wait for a bench warrant, since that will cause you a LOT of problems later. Do research on how to fix your traffic ticket. There are free resources out there. I recently read a post on trickedmytruck site that was very informative. And the only way to get a copy of your lost ticket is to go to the county clerk of courts, most places want to see an ID.
If your ticket is within 12 months, you will have to file with the Court, a Motion to Reopen the case. Some courts in Ohio will reopen cases, but you could end up with the same conclusion. If you paid the ticket for a 68/55 mph speeding ticket and the case reopened, depending on the Court, you could get a lesser charge or the same. The best course of action would be to obtain an attorney; ask a professional.
Your best bet is to consult with an attorney about this. Each state, and even each city, may have different laws and policies that cover this situation. You can try to contact the Court which issued the bench warrant. They may be willing to tell you if the bench warrant is still valid or when it might expire. (Some courts will not tell you anything that might remotely be considered legal advice, so don't be upset if they won't tell you.)

No, individuals are typically not notified directly about the issuance of a warrant. Law enforcement may attempt to apprehend you if you have an outstanding warrant, but there is no direct notification process. It is advisable to address any legal issues promptly to avoid complications.
yes, you can be arrested in NC for a warrant that was issued by the New Jersey courts.
The judge will issue a bench warrant immidiately after the indictment is made. The bail will be set in the warrant. The bench warrant will be issued on the grounds of the indictment.
Call the Clerk of Courts office and ask if that particular judge is assigned to your judicial district.
As an individual, you can't. Your local Department of Human Services will decide if a warrant for arrest is justified and will work with the courts to have one issued.
Yes
No, but the court in Texas can ask that you be held for extradition as soon as the Georgia court is through with you. You would then be brought back to Texas to answer to the charges on the Texas warrant.
