QUESTION
If I have warrant for embezzlement in one state and I now live in another state and needs to get a driver’s license are they going to arrest me?

More details to this question:
2008 charged with embezzlement given 10 year probation. Warrant issued in 2011 to revoke probation for non-compliance because I stopped paying it says bond amount set $400 cash only. All I have left to pay is $742 in court costs and fees from back in 2008. So now my Oklahoma license is about to expire so I will need a Texas driver’s license when I go to do that is my warrant going to show up if so will I be arrested.

It's a possibility. Of course, it is also a possibility the next time you are in your car you have a tail light go out, and an officer stops you to give you a warning. However, when that warrant pops as the officer runs your license, your warning can turn into shiny bracelets and a free ride to jail. Get your old stuff resolved, or at least on a payment plan before some sniggly little matter jams you up in a big way.
