Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

I have been on summary probation for the past six months which is not expected to end until 2020. I have been complying with my court orders to pay monthly fine, one day book and release and 100 hours of community service that I have not started but needs to be complete by 11/2019. I recently find out by searching my name in court records that I have a warrant and my probation has been revoked. It shows it became active 5/02. I have not received anything by mail to let me know that I violated any conditions. Or anything saying I missed a court date. So my question is how likely will the court send me to jail if I put myself on the calendar to see what is going on? And before probation can be revoked do the DA have to notify me to give me a reason why?

Unless you and your attorney present a very credible explanation to the judge that convinces him you did not violate, then, yes, you could face jail. You do have an attorney, right?? His job is to try to get probation reinstated. If you are serious about hiring experienced counsel, feel free to contact me.
