As far as I know, a failure to appear will not prevent you from obtaining a driver's license in any state..it should just get you a warrant in the county/state that you earned a failure to appear. It would be wise in fact to first get your license in another state and then deal with the court proceedings (be it for a dui, etc) in the state of perpitraion After you obtain your license in the next state, where you will typically also be surrendering your license in that other state. Your Failure To Appear will still have earned you your warrant though-so don't sleep on it!

Added:

(In the State of Ohio) If you fail to appear at a traffic court hearing, they will likely just continue to deal with your case as if you showed up and agreed to everything they have done in your absence (you are guilty/fines levied/sentencing given out/etc.).

The State wins the case against you by your 'Default' of not showing up. They will also 'Administratively' suspend your driver's license until you appear at the court to deal with the charges/case and your license will be suspended until you pay a $25 reinstatement fee to the DMV.

This (along withe the warrant for failure to appear) could cause you to not be able to get another license in CA, until you have taken care of the charges in your case and paid the fee to DMV.

You must also be living in CA, or whatever State you try to get a different license in (must be a resident of the State) in order to get a driver's license in any other State, so you can't get your license suspended in one State and just go to another to get a different license.
