Q: Two years ago, I got a letter in the mail from another state ( Massachusetts) for a warrant if I remember correctly.
For stolen property I fell into a scam and had money deposited in my account it’s completely my fault. However I live in Texas, I am saving up the money so late next year I can get a lawyer. How will it affect me here in Texas for the mean time? Can I get my drivers license? I flew last year to San Antonio and I was not flagged by TSA or anything i believe is a felony over there( $1200) and here it’s a misdemenor

A:
A Felony warrant is a problem. If a police officer pulls you over, and runs a warrant check, if it shows up, they will arrest you. What's worse, is that they will hold you until they extradite you to MA. If you get a good TX attorney, they can work it out for you with an MA attorney. My office and others does handle that kind of problem.
You can call the local police, or county sheriff, in MA, from a private number, and ask for the details. They will help you, believe it or not. If they ask for your address, do not give it. It is best to use a lawyer in this instance, but a call will get you the details of your warrant, if there is one.
I hope this helps.
Good Luck!
