Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

I�ve been accused of embezzlement of $10,000 from a previous employer in Texas, but there is no way I took that much. I did take a smaller amount that did not exceed $3,000.00. I�ve been contacted by a detective and I said NOTHING to her. The detective told me she was going to send the info about my charges to the DA�s office this weekend. Currently I�m living in Pennsylvania with my 90year old grandmother and I just started two full-time jobs and I�m worried about extradition. I have no idea what to do or anything I never had any convictions before.

Here are my questions about my situation?

Do i need to hire a lawyer ASAP?

Is it possible to find out when a warrant will be released? So I drive myself to TX without being handcuffed in a van for 2-3 days.

Or Even possible to stay in PA while the process going on?

Can I look at the evidence against me to prove that I never took that amount?

Is it possible to work out a plea bargain to prevent prison time?
