I do not know why you were "called back to court." Was this a motion to revoke probation?

Are you reporting to your probation now? If not, why not?

I would advise you to report to probation unless you have something in writing that you do not have to report to probation.

I would make certain that I had written proof that the probation office had my correct address and telephone number.

If you have no written proof I would send them a friendly, and certified letter, notifying them of your address and phone number.

I do not know what to tell you to expect because I do not know why you were called back to court the first time.

Generally, if you are placed on probation and you are called back to court that means a motion to revoke probation has been filed and you will have to appear in court on that motion.
