If you missed a court date, it is likely that there is an outstanding warrant for your arrest.  Judges do not like it when defendants fail to appear for court hearings.  On the other hand, Judges appreciate when defendants voluntarily turn themselves in and take responsibility for their actions. I strongly recommend that you hire an attorney, who will be able to find out the status of your case and advise you of the best course of action.  If you cannot afford an attorney, I strongly recommend that you go to Court and ask the status of your case.  The best time to do this would be Monday in the morning so that if you are arrested, you can be arraigned before the end of the day.
