I do not quite understand your series of questions.

First, I do not know if you have a warrant for your arrest or not. I know of no reasons why you would not have a warrant.

You state that a ticket was dismissed in 2007 and imply this ticket for failure to appear was taken care of. If it was then, you do not have a warrant probably.

The police officer did run a check which had you in the clear. However, for some reason, I have seen warrants appear later and my clients complain to me that they may have applied for a drivers license and or been pulled over previously and no warrant showed, so why are they being arrested now?

You can have your record checked usually at the county sheriffs office for a nominal fee. However, in theory you can be arrested if the warrant shows.
