My boyfriend has a New Jersey Driver's license. He got a ticket in Florida. He thought he did not have to pay it. Months later, he received a letter from a Florida attorney, hired by the State of Florida to collect the money of the ticket plus a couple of hundred dollars added for the delay.

Can you be arrested in Las Vegas NV for a bench warrant in tx?

Yes, but it's not likely that you will be. If the local police run your name, they will probably only be checking the state records. However, you should get the warrant taken care of as soon as possible. Call an attorney.You absolutely can be arrested and contrary to the answer above you will be arrested if the charge is a felony. They will then call Texas and ask them if they want you. If they do want you then Las Vegas will hold you until they come an pick you up. If it's not a serious charge they likely will not want to come all that way to pick you up. They definitely will not arrest you if the charge is a misdemeanor. They will just inform you that you have a warrant and let you go. No state will cross their own state lines to pick someone up for a misdemeanor. The warrant has to be for a felony.
