Do I need to be worried if I got a OWI charge in 1991 or 1992 and I don't remember and did not show up for court too?

Yes since there is probably a warrant out for your arrest.

You should hire a lawyer to go to court to recall the warrant. A lawyer can do this without you present, so it is less risky for you.

If you did not show up for court then you probably had a bench warrant issued which will still be active until it is resolved. If that is the case, you run the risk of being hauled away to jail the next time you come into contact with law enforcement, no matter how inconvenient the timing. You need to contact the court in the county where it occurred to check on the status. If you have an active bench warrant, retain an experienced OWI are DUI attorney in your area to assist you in being arraigned on the matter so it can get taken care of.

Order your driving record from the Secretary of State (it costs about $8), and then consult with a Criminal Defense attorney who offers free initial consults to assess your options.
