Re: Florida vs Texas

Although I can't tell the future, the issuing jurisdiction will probably issue a warrant for the ticket, and the failure to appear. If you are stopped for anything elsewhere, the warrant might appear on an NCIC check, if one is run. They may hold you to determine if Texas will pick you up on the warrant. Texas will probably say no they won't.
