If you were personally served with an Order for Appearance at a Judgment Debtor's Examination and you fail to appear, a warrant could be issued for your arrest, and you could be arrested and brought to court to answer the judgment creditor's questions.

Actually, in most counties a warrant WILL be issued for your arrest. We don't have debtors prisons in America, but we do jail people for contempt of a court order all the time.
