The gun case is largely dependent upon what happens with the DWI. If you have a CHL, then the only way to beat the gun case is to beat the DWI.  The strength of the DWI depends on (a) how you looked on the cops dashcam video (if there was one); (b) the station video (if there was one); (c) whether there was a breath test or a blood test; and (d) what you told the officer during the course of his/her investigation and arrest. If you look normal and sound normal on the videos, and there is no breath or blood tests, you should not plea guilty to it, in my opinion.  Your options with respect to the DWI is to plead guilty to it, or set it for trial. You can't get deferred probation in Texas on an alcohol case, so that is why the options are more limited than for some other type of cases. Often, the only way to avoid a conviction for a DWI charge is to take it to trial, and to win.  

There is no statute of limitations issue. If he leaves the state, his probation will be frozen once a motion to revoke probation is filed. The warrant will then exist until the end of time, and if he comes back to TX he will be arrested on the warrant, and have to resolve the motion to revoke his probation (which would result in a jail sentence).

It depends on the PO, usually. Also, it depends on what the person is on parole for. If they're on parole for a felony DWI, my guess is a new DWI allegation would certainly violate them. It would probably be a big issue if he/she is on parole for a drug case, since the two are closely related. The biggest thing he/she needs to worry about at this point, is hiring the very best attorney they can to fight the DWI. If they win, they'll have a stronger argument before the Board of Pardons and Parole.
