More details to this question:
State has put a hold so I cant get a license from another state renewed. It occurred in 2006. Is there a statute of limitations on fines?

Nope. Fines don't have any expiration dates. First you should hire a lawyer to go to court to recall the warrant. A lawyer can do this without you present if the underlying charge is a misdemeanor, so it is less risky for you.

No SOL on fines...they will be put into collections and affect credit and license. You need to clear up fines which should then lift hold on license. If convicted in CA, CA DMV will also require you to take and complete a CA approved DMV class prior to giving you full driving privileges. Good Luck!

You will have to go to court and get the bench warrant recalled. That should get your license back. If it doesn't, then it's because you didn't do the class. If you live in another state you can get DMV to issue 1650 waiver.
