You are probably looking at an arrest warrant from the 8/13 DUI and possible jail time for the 2nd DUI. It is time to hire an attorney.

You can expect to hear that you are going to get some jail since you did not go the first time and did not learn anything from being arrested the first time and repeated the behavior.? You really need to get into rehab NOW and get a lawyer.

This is very serious, you really should contact a criminal defense lawyer in your area immediately. You punishment will depend on the county.

You should hire a lawyer to go to court to recall the warrant. A lawyer can do this without you present, so it is less risky for you.

Yes, you can most certainly expect to hear from the judge. I suspect that you are in very significant trouble and should be engaging an attorney immediately.

Statute says 10 days in jail, but it is up to the Judge.
