If you make an appointment in court, you must also be ready to deal with the warrant and ask the judge to recall the warrant. There will be a fine for the failure to appear. They judge will usually reduce the fine, and perhaps give you community service, but you will have to plead guilty or no contest. It is too late to contest the validity of the court finding you guilty.
