If you are stopped, questioned, try to get state id, you will most likely be caught and oftentimes, the offense of running (especially out of state) is a separate offense than the offense for which you were convicted and placed on probation.
Immediately call a Texas criminal defense attorney and see if he or she can help you turn yourself in. Try www.attorneypages.com, try the Texas State Bar or Texas Legal Aid. Do not run - you will only cause yourself more harm.
