It almost sounds like your probation in Colorado wasn't completed successfully, and a warrant for your arrest in Colorado may have been issued. If so, that might prevent you from renewing your California license. Or it may be something else, but without more investigation, I can't know what it is. However, the statute of limitations probably won't help you. If there is a warrant, warrants exist forever until they're "cleared." This bears further discussion. If you'd like to talk to me about it, don't hesitate to call 310 922 3983. Good luck. Steve Mandell
