I'm trying to get information on how best to proceed with this. My husband had 2 dui/dwi convictions in the state of TX, he was on probation and his license revoked for 90 days....This occurred about 1997-99. He left TX while under probation and during his license revokation and moved here to NC. He's been living in NC now for 5 years. Texas probation office knows where he's residing as they have sent letters directly to our home address. A letter we recieved from them stated that he left texas owing them $763 and that a warrant was filed on him, to please contact their office. He called them and got the distinct impression that they care nothing about him leaving the state but just want their money. They told him that once the money was paid however there would be no guarantee that the warrant would be dropped, they did tell him that he is classified as a Fugitive From Justice. First off, what exactly does the classification of Fugitive from Justice mean for him??
We are wanting to get his NC drivers license, but we're worried that the warrant will come up and just what that would mean. My husband's job is our only source of income so we really can't afford for him to go to jail or be dragged back down to Texas. If he was to go to the local NC dmv to apply for a license would the warrant come up? And what would be done?
My husband is thinking that perhaps the TX statue of limitations on the misdameanors is 7 years which is coming up. Is this true, what would a statue of limitations be on his violations? And if the limitations is up, would the warrant also be up? Would it still hang over him if he was to ever be pulled over, or would it disappear?
Sorry so many questions, we're just not sure how to proceed and don't want to inadvertantly do something that's going to get him hauled off to the clink and leave our family with no income, we have 4 kids to think about.
