If you missed your court date, there may be a warrant for your arrest. Check with the court. If there is a warrant have it recalled and get a new court date.

Probably nothing AS LONG AS YOU GO TO THE COURT AND LET THEM KNOW ALL THIS.

If you are in full compliance otherwise, then probably nothing, however, you DO need to contact the court and explain what happened because a warrant may still have issued.

You could be held in contempt. Contact the court and/or a lawyer as soon as possible to explain and mitigate the damages.

Contact the court clerk to see if your case is active and if a warrant was issued for your arrest. If the court had proof of completion of all requirements, it may have waived your appearance and just closed the case. If there is a warrant outstanding, you need to add yourself on calendar and take care of any remaining issues in the case. You can and should have an attorney help you if there is a warrant outstanding. Good Luck!

There is a warrant outstanding for your arrest. You need to turn yourself in to the police. You may get a new sentence that would extend your period of probation, along with more community service and a fine.

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.

If you did not have any other obligations then nothing. If you did have other obligations then a bench warrant would be issued.
