If you can avoid a police cruiser chasing your butt down the highway, in any state, let alone Texas, you get an award for stupidity.  And if the vehicle isn't moving, where you going to hide, in the trunk? I know - crawl inside the gas tank and light a cigarette.  Nuff said.

Disclaimer: I am not a attorney, so if you want legal advice contact a attorney.\n1. Call the court to find out if a warrant has been issued for your arrest.\n2. If a warrant has been issued for your arrest, contact the city marshall to find out what your options are. \n3. Jail credit in Texas is a minimum of $50 a day but is usually higher. \n\nLegally you can contact a attorney to get your best options. This problem won't go away until you contact the court.

You have asked several questions into one. First of all, if your talking a texas only drivers license, then what the cities and counties do is attach any traffic violations to your license. So when the Law Enforcement officer runs your license any texas issued traffic citation will come up, regardless of texas jurisdiction. As for out of state traffic tickets, some states may do the same and attach a violation to the license. Most states belong to the Recipication Agreement, meaning that if your license is susspended in your home state or any other state that you had a license, then your license that you hold now is null and void. As for deferred adjudication, it wouldn't be reported until after you have completed the agreement of the court. Then it probably wouldn't be reported at all, since you complied with the courts requirement.

Article IV, section 1 of US constitution provides that:\n"Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State."[1]\nSo Pa pretty much has to honor TX traffic warrants, IF PA decides to prosecute the offender who now lives in TX(which they won't)

I was once given a ticket for going five miles over in a school zone (the exit to the school zone was not clearly marked on the road, and I began speeding up as I believed I was exiting the school zone). In Texas, you are allowed to take defensive driving for the dismisal  of a ticket (even speeding in a school zone, such as my ticket). And although it's a tedious way to spend an afternoon, I'd highly recommend defensive driving if it's an option, because you can actually use the voucher to also get a discount on your auto insurance - I checked this with the court, the defensive driving instructor and my insurance agency, it's completely legit!

Technically yes. Any violation of the law that *you get caught* for could be grounds for PV... Been there, done that... Best o' luck. The legal system sucks ass.

No, there is no statute of limitations on traffic warrants.  If you fail to appear in Texas on a traffic ticket, you are found guilty, and then on top of that, a criminal charge of Failure to Appear is entered.   That is what causes the warrant to be issued.\n\nOnce a warrant is issued, your driver's license is suspended and if you are stopped while driving, you will be charged with "Driving while license suspended" (or "DWS") and there will be additional fines and a trip to the local jail.\n\nYou have to contact the original court and pay all of the fines. They will give you a letter which you can then take to the DMV to have your license reinstated. Your license is not automatically reinstated when you pay the fines.

Plea not guilty and take the reduction to illegal parking to avoid points on your license. I'm sure you were very careful in going around the double parked vehicle and checked both pedestrian and vehicle traffic before passing.

In Texas, I have encountered this problem when I'm responding to an emergency. When opportunity allows I have stopped these people and asked for reasons. The number reason is because "I didn't see/notice you." I reply to this by asking them if they didn't see my emergency lights or hear my siren, then how are they able to be aware of the other traffic around them. In Texas, a driver must either pull into another lane (if available) or slow to 20 miles an hour below the posted speed limit. Before I had a radar unit in my vehicle, I used to "leap frog" the state troopers. I would pull in behind their units on traffic stops and then issue citations to anyone that failed to move over or slow down. On average, I wrote three tickets for every traffic stop that they made.

You would have to read the DUI statute for your state. Most statutes specify that in order for the stiffer penalties to be assessed, the suspect has to be convicted of DUI, not just arrested for it. \n\nOn a side note: What the hell are you doing with someone like that. He obviously didn't learn the first time and now wants to get pulled through the wind wing for refusing to get out of the car. Get a better BF and have a better life.

Police stop people all the time for minor traffic violation with no intention of giving them a ticket. They use the minor traffic violation as probable cause to stop and contact you.\n\nOnce they have you stopped, they start checking for other more serious violations such as DWI, Driving While License Suspended, Odor of Drugs, Plain View Contraband, Etc. It also gives the Officer the opportunity to see who is in the vehicle and to see if they are wanted.\n\nIf the Officer did not give you a ticket at the scene, then I'm sure your were just warned. I can not speak for every state, but in Texas, we do not mail a ticket to you after the stop. We give it to you at the scene or not at all.\n\nIn Texas, we use minor violations to stop people and check their story out. We have a lot of drugs coming in from Mexico. If things don't add up, then we dig further. If everything seems to check out, then we send them on their way. \n\nRemember the Oklahoma City Bomber was caught on a traffic stop. As for Gunny T's answer, I catch a wanted person, drugs, or a DWI in about 1 out of every 10-15 traffic stops. So it does work.
