...doesn't go to court?

You'll incur a new Failure to Appear criminal misdemeanor charge, and will have an arrest warrant issued.

You'll then have to deal with the warrant, meaning you must turn yourself in to the issuing court, with or without an attorney. On misdemeanors and infractions, an attorney can appear in court without the defendant being present � which is safer and avoids immediately being taken into custody. You�ll try to negotiate a recall of the warrant[s] and bail reduction or OR release. You�ll try to negotiate a plea bargain on any �Failure to Appear� charge that caused the warrant. You�ll try to negotiate a plea bargain or take to trial the outstanding charge that caused the warrant. Unless you're competent to effectively represent yourself in court against a professional prosecutor trying to put you in jail, most people hire an attorney who can. If serious about hiring counsel to help in this, feel free to contact me.
