You do have to testify if the DA decides to proceed to trial (which they can do whether you want that to happen or not), and they have you served with a subpoena requiring you to come to court. If you refuse to obey the subpoena, the court can have a deputy go pick you up and/or hold you in contempt (put you in jail for failing to obey the subpoena).
