    Texas chose to issue an interstate warrant, suggesting that they do intend to extradite him. He will have to wait and see if they in fact proceed with extradition before the deadline imposed by Georgia law.

    He is subject to being resentenced on his original offense, and could potentially face additional charges due to his flight from justice even if he has not yet been charged. He really should consult a criminal defense lawyer.
