If you have been issued a subpoena to appear in court, then failing to appear in court could result in the judge holding you in contempt of court. You could be fined or sentenced to a brief period of incarceration for contempt of court. Because you would be violating a court's order by not appearing, a warrant for your arrest could be issued in order to bring you in so as to be held accountable for the contempt of court charge,
