There are many facts left out of this question that I would want to know. But first, what county is the DWI pending in? You should contact the court's administrator and he/she can tell you the status of the case and if a warrant is active for your arrest.

If you have a warrant, I suggest you retain competent counsel to assist you in getting the warrant recalled. Your case will then go back on the docket and the attorney may appear on your behalf.

The pending DWI will not affect your ability to obtain a California DL. However, a conviction on this case may suspend your DL in Texas and the new one in California.
