In 2003 I got a speeding ticket and failed to pay it. I am now re-located back to the state in which I got it and am needing to find out how to get it taken care of, but I was told after 3 years your record is wiped totally clean. Can someone help me out with this? I've tried contacting my local DPS office only to get tons of busy signals. Thanks!

Believe me, your record is not wiped clean.
What probably happened is they revoked your driving privileges in the state. You'll need to contact the DMV and find out if that is the case. You'll have to pay the old ticket, plus the extra penalties, admin fees, and probably a reinstatement fee to get your privileges back.
You may have a bench warrant out on you, but if you contact them first, it's no big deal. I had to do this with two other states (Vermont and Virginia) several years ago for the same type of thing that was over 10 years old before I could get my license renewed in the state I was living in at the time (Nevada).

In Texas you can call the sheriff's office for the county in which you may have a warrant and they will tell you on the telephone whether or not a warrant was issued for anyone. It takes a long time on hold to get an answer, but that is probably better than asking in person. The police will not have the warrant it is issued by the county.

If you can remember the city or county you received the ticket, you can phone their offices & they will tell you. Obviously, don't tell them where you are!
There used to be an 800 number to phone to find out if you have outstanding warrants. Do some searches & see what you can find for the state of Texas.

First of all your record is not wiped clean. Depending on where you received the ticket( city, county or state) call that agency in the city that you received the ticket and they can tell you free over the phone.

Try calling the clerk of courts in the county in which the ticket was issued.

Drive fast, get pulled over, and see if you get arrested.
