Generally speaking, there is always a chance that you can be arrested for an outstanding warrant. Only a police officer can arrest you. Is it likely that the county clerk will do a warrant search when you apply for a marraige license? Not highly likely. But why deal with this n a daily basis? Have your fiance hire an attorney to run interference and get it resolved. Good luck.
