You may have a failure to appear warrant, but it doesn't get better by waiting. At some point you will get arrested and sit in jail for a good while if you do nothing, so act quickly.

Call the court. In some cases you can pay a warrant fee and get a new court date, or, if you plan to plead guilty, simply pay the ticket and warrant fee.

If it's a serious violation that could result in a license suspension, or if you are under 21, call a lawyer first.
