Depending on what kind of sentence you served, ex, straight probation, a expungement of the felony is possible through post-conviction dismissal. The great thing about this is that the conviction comes completely off your record and all of your rights are restored, as if the felony conviction never happened. No employer will know about the felony or be able to take that into account when hiring, firing or promoting. If you served a state prison sentence, dismissal is still available through either a certificate of rehabilitation or pardon.

You will have a warrant for your arrest. I doubt the State will come after you, but if you ever come back and get pulled over then they will arrest you. Maybe they would put it on a national database so that if you are pulled over in another State they could arrest you and then transfer you back to Texas, but it's unlikely since DWI is not that bad of a crime. Now murder is another story. But DWI is pretty small potatoes for the State of Texas.
