What will happen if my wife received a warrant for failure to appear?

A warrant issued for a failure to appear at a required court hearing is also known as a "capias." There are ways an attorney can assist your wife in having the capias withdrawn and avoid having to be booked into jail, but there are certain procedures that must be followed in doing so. A local criminal defense attorney will be able to advise what you need to do in your county to possibly avoid further jail time while she waits to see the judge on the outstanding capias. Further, any correspondence you may have received from the Clerk's office is important, so be sure to have everything available when you speak with an attorney about how they can help as it may be relevant to show why she did not appear at the required court hearing.

It is probably a no bond situation. Call a local bondsman to find out.
