If your husband has been stopped by law enforcement since the DUI conviction occurred and has been released it seems unlikely that he has an outstanding warrant. That being said, it sounds like he may have failed to complete some portion of his sentence (or you wouldn't be concerned about a warrant), the only way to confirm that there is no warrant is to go to the courthouse where he was convicted and check with the clerk or review the file himself.

If you know which court issued the original charges, call that court and ask if there is a warrant for your husband's arrest. Or hire an attorney to run a warrant search.
