More details to this question:
I had a court date on the 17th for being an HTV. I marked the 27th on my calendar and missed court yesterday. I now have a bench warrant. Can I go to court in the morning and explain to the judge without being arrested? Since it was an honest mistake and its only 48 hours later. Will I automatically be arrested? This is my first FTA.

You need to turn yourself in. Most judges will require you to do that before considering release. You also should hire or request an attorney.
