Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

I recieved a letter from my childs father to appear in court . it was stated a "formal letter" and says that failure to appear could result in a subpoena. I am willing to attend, but whats the difference in a formal request vs a subpoena and im not a party in his case so what would I be needed for?
