Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Jumping Bail

I had a court date in Dallas County in

January for a traffic warrant I bonded

out on, due to a devastating out of

town death in the family, I missed. I

completely forgot about the whole

bit, and was arrested when i went to

renew my license. I cash bonded out

of the Plano jail in Collin County, but

no one told me what i need to do

next. I called every official in Dallas

County but no one seems to be any

help. what do i do?? Should I get an

attorney?? what would my likely

outcome be?? HELP!
