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.
It is not a felony, but you will have a warrant put out for your arrest if you continue to ignore the ticket. Below is a link about failure to appear.
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.
No it is not a felony, but it is a darn expensive misdemeanor.
NO, not unless other circumstances may apply. Its a civil infraction, and could be a misdemeanor if you were being reckless at the time.
The state of CA. will run your name and the ticket will appear in Texas. Years ago, you could get away with. Now they are all connected.
It depends on what kind of warrant it is. If it's a felony warrant then Texas will extradite but misdemeanors they don't.
I doubt that Texas is spending their tax money to keep you in jail for a California misdemeanor. What's more likely is that you've been charged with a Texas offense -OR- you are being held for extradition at California's request.

The unpaid ticket causes the court to issue a warrant for your arrest. It's unlikely that California would extradite you from Texas for an unpaid traffic ticket, but if you go back to California, you are subject to arrest at any time.
It depends on the limitations placed on the warrant by the issuing court. Many misdemeanor warrants are limited to service in the city or county that issued the warrant. It is up to the judge.
If they want you badly enough, yes.
If the police run your background for any reason they will see the arrest warrant for Texas. Depending on the charges Texas may or may not decide to extradite you. If it is a minor charge they may not extradite because Texas would have to pay for it.
A warrant is a warrant. If you happen to be one those who gets randomly screened and your name is run through the criminal information computer AND the warrants are on file you COULD be taken into custody by the airport police.
will texas extradite misdemeanor fugitives?
Yes, it is a Class C Misdemeanor.
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.
Six for a misdemeanor, 12 for a felony.
