The important thing is to let your lawyer in the case in which you are out of custody know. Either he/she will appear for you or the judge will issue a bench warrant and when you are released from custody you will be taken to the court in the county for which you are currently out of custody.

yes let attorney know ... if you don't have one, incarceration is one of the few allowed reasons for missing a court appearance. Good luck!
