What is the name of your state? Texas
Hello, I just moved back to Texas from Oregon 7 months ago. I have recently found out that I have got 3 warrants for my arrest. 1. contempt of court 2. failure to appear 3. contempt of court punitive. These all stem from a restraining order my girlfriend had put against me last July. And we have talked since then and she wishes she'd never done it and regrets it, but it out of her hands so to speak. My question is what can they do? When I go to get my Texas License, they will see that I have the warrants, will they arrest me and extadite me back to Oregon? I have called them and asked them what I can do to clear this matter up and they just tell me to turn myself in. But I do not want to go back to jail for something so petty. There was never any violence between her and I. But I am bipolar, and the meds they had me on did make me verbally mean. I tried to tell the doctors and they just kept increasing my dosages and it got so bad I eventually put a knife in my chest missing my heart by an 1/8 of an inch and slit my wrist, not to mention over dosed on a ton of pills. I am better now, I am no longer on any of those awful meds and I don't have a bad temper what so ever. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Hurt and Confused.
