*** THE FOLLOWING IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE ***
What if the OP books a flight from Shannon, Ireland back to the USA?
"She" will go through CBP pre-clearance facility. Even if "her" name
gets flagged, the CBP officer does not have the power to arrest "her"
becuase it's still Irish territory. The CBP can deny "her" boarding and
alert the Irish police. However, I highly doubt that Texas will bother
with a costly extradition request.
Regardless... the OP should seek legal advise from an attorney.
Below is the text from Wikipedia on this subject:
"Travelers who have passed through the U.S. government checks,
but whose flight or ship has not departed, remain in the legal
jurisdiction of the host country. U.S. officials may question and
search travelers, but they do not have powers of arrest (either
for customs or immigration violations, or for the execution of
outstanding warrants), although they can deny boarding.
Local criminal laws apply, and are enforced by local officials."
P.S. I used "She" and "her" because I am confident
that the OP is a male and did not come from Texas.
