Ok, your question is a little vague. You ask if this is a probation violation, and state it is an old warrant. To answer your question, you need the dates. If the warrant is dated before your boyfriend began probation, it is NOT a probation violation. However, if it is after the date of probation, then yes it is probably a probation violation.
Either way, your boyfriend will get a date in court. Probation violations are not automatic. Your boyfriend will get an attorney, and will be able to contest the violation.
As for when, it really depends on the courts in your area, and the severity of the charge. Depending on their dockets, waiting for a court date can take a month or two.
You also need to know about this old warrant. If he was arrested on an old warrant, a second warrant may have been issued for the violation of his probation. This would result in 2 bonds being issued if you are thinking of bonding him out of jail.

He'll get a court date, and as for what will happen ..? hard to tell.
most of the time with "old warrants" the court just wants to dispose of them so they rush the Case through. If its a misdemeanor the will more than likely give him "time served" and probation. (varies from state to state)
"Felony" he could be screwed!
I have a friend from Kentucky that is in a Indiana jail (300 miles a way from home & family) on an old warrant for Possion been here since Thanksgiving .
Probation Violation, the Judge can give him "ANY or ALL of his time! meaning all the time he has spent on probation "can" be thrown out and he'll have to do ALL of his time, or the Judge may just give him "time served"

If it is a probation violation, then his ticket has been revoked and he must serve the rest of his sentance.
There is no need for a court date for this
