It depends, but generally either a show cause summons or a Failure to Appear warrant are issued. if a FTA warrant is issued, you need to turn yourself in. You can find out on www.courts.state.va.us.

Prior to turning yourself in you should hire an attorney to help prevent you from being incarcerated until your next court date or any time thereafter. Sheryl Shane, Attorney at Law.
