This is something that has to be straightened out in California where the DUI apparently is pending. This is not an unusual situation (so I am not sure why the person at DMV you spoke to said they had not seen it). There is an "Interstate Compact" between states. When a person fails to take care of a ticket in one state, it causes a hold on the persons license in their home state. The only way to remove it is to take care of the matter in California. Hire a lawyer in the county where the DUI ticket is pending and see how they can help you - it is the only way to straighten it out.
