You got bad advice. If there's an outstanding warrant for your arrest for a DWI, it will be there forever, until you get it taken care of. To be clear, a "DUI" in Texas is a ticket issued to people under 21 who are suspected of driving under the influence. "DWI" is the over 21 charge, and is more serious. If all you have outstanding is the DUI ticket, you should just retain a TX attorney to handle it for you. Since you're living out of State now, your attorney may be able to get the warrant lifted, get you on a docket, make an appearance on your behalf, work out a resolution to the case, and all you'd have to do is mail in a check for the fees/court costs (if it can be worked out that way). The worst thing in the world to do would be to ignore it.
