More details to this question:
My brother was arrested tonight coming home from work. He has been stopped before for this same reason. There is someone out there that has his same name and the social security number is off by one digit. The warrant was from TX.

He needs to hire a criminal defense attorney. Your brother can be held for 30 days to determine if TX wants to extradite him. One of the defenses to extradition is that they have the wrong person. He needs to have an attorney properly assert this defense for him, here in Florida. This is another example of a very complicated situation which requires the services of a professional, someone who does this sort of thing for a living.
