Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey

I was given, I think, deferred adjudication, and received 2 years probation in New Jersey, Dec. 1993. I was allowed by the courts to serve my probation in Texas. I moved there in Jan 1994. I reported to probation did the two years on probation in Texas. My probation officer did not require me to physically report in but to call him if my circumstances changed. They did not, I immediately got a job, stayed in the same residence for five years until I left the country in '97. In 2007, after getting a job a financial institutions, I was told that I was losing my job for what they told me were the original charges from 93. When I called the NJ court, I was told that I had violated my probation in April of 94 (3 months after moving to Texas) in NJ, for not submitting to a drug test. I was in Texas, on probation and was never notified that I needed to submit to a drug test. A bench warrant was issued for me in '95, out of NJ....what do I do?
