More details to this question:
I had an open case for a third offence drunk driving 13 years ago, bail jumped and left state and never came back. I was never convicted. They want to come back to the state.

That depends entirely on the prosecutor. And he or she will be looking at the offense of bail-jumping, and any criminal history you had before the problem 13 years ago. It would be good to contact the prosecutor before you set foot in the state which charged you. Some prosecutors will not even discuss a disposition until you are back in their jurisdiction.
