You will have a court date and opportunity to explain why you failed to appear for probation. In the future you could have called the probation officer instead of simply not showing up. If you have proof of your family emergency show the court. You are technically in violation, and therefore I would admit the violation,and ask the court to let you give an explanation. Then ask that you be allowed to continue on probation. Show remorse and tell the judge that this wont happen again. If you deny the violation the state will have an easy time proving, because either you reported or you didn't.
