I was subpoenaed to go to court this coming Friday. The state of Texas vs. Step Father my sister says our step father molested her when we were younger. We are both now in our mid- twenties we were rather close when we were young, but she never told me anything about this. She claims the reason she wants to come forward now is because our mother has custody of my sister¿s daughter and our step dad lives there and she is worried this might happen to her now. I do not know anything regarding these allegations yet they still want me to testify?
Yes, you can go to jail. More than likely, however, if you don't show up, the court may decide to use its power to have you brought to court by the sheriffs or police. You should not ignore a subpoena.
