More details to this question:
I was a few minutes late turning myself in on the date I was court ordered to surrender myself. They turned me away. Can I show up the following Friday or is it mandatory to be seen by a judge first?

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