Does A Warrant Ever Expire For A Misdemeanor Charge? -- https://backgroundreports.im/

Generally, no. They exist until withdrawn or served - and to be withdrawn, a court has to do this, and to be served a person has to be arrested or cited for the warrant.
The statute of limitations ceases to be a concern when a warrant is issued. We recently arrested a guy on a 19 year old misdemeanor arrest warrant ... the SOL for the offense was one year, but since he had left the jurisdiction and had a warrant issued, he can still be tried for the offense from 19 years ago.
There may be some states that require the warrant be reaffirmed every X years to remain valid, but generally this is not the case, and I know of no states that do this off the top of my head.
So, if you have a warrant, it will likely dog you the rest of your days. Not only do you face arrest, but you can be contacted and detained or arrested outside the jurisdiction of issue if they discover the warrant ... you can face denial or revocation of state and federal aid, loan programs, assistance, SSI, welfare, etc. if a warrant exists ... and it can prevent access to a variety of decent jobs.

In Texas, no. Sometimes the police officers will do a warrant report to see how many of the active warrants can be recalled due to being so old.
**LITTLE PIECE OF ADVICE: Texas misdemeanor warrants are only valid in Texas!!!**

Warrants expire after a year but are normally renewed by the DA and the judge so that the outstanding warrant always remains in effect unless it is a minor offense.

There is a statute of limitations for non-violent crime. I do not know how that affects a warrant. I assume if the SOL on a crime has hit, then the warrant is voided. The exception is if flight was involved, then they can get you on that.

Are misdemeanor warrants valid only in the state they are issued...?

Statue of limitations only applies to filing charges against you. If there is a warrant for your arrest, it will never go away. They have filed the charges. One sure fire way to make it vanish is to contact the prosecutor and discuss the case with him. See if he'll let you plea to something else.
