Your question is not exactly clear... But I will try to answer it in a general way: if a person arrested for a misdemeanor offense DUI does not appear in court (after signing a promise to appear or after being informed of a future court date by the Judge) a bench warrant will likely issue for the arrest of that individual and the individual could face an additional charge of "Failure to Appear" which is a misdemeanor in and of itself.
