In most jurisdictions if you "Fail to Appear" a Bench Warrant will be issued. When the defendant is arrested he will have to appear before the Judge who issued the warrant.
The Judge may allow the defendant to be released on the original release orders, he may order a bond or a higher bond is there already is one, he may not allow bail and will keep the person in custody.
Advice: Make it to court.If you are on bail with a Bail Bond Company, they will also be looking to take you back to jail. If they don't pick you up and you get arrested again, the bond may be forfeited and you will lose whatever collateral you had in the bond.

∙ 15y agoThe person should consider obtaining legal counsel before surrendering to authorities. If he cannot afford private representation he should turn himself in to the court to avoid further charges. At the arraignment the judge will ask the defendant if he would wants to request a public defender. Be advised, that a non appearance in court will result in a second warrant being issued for the person's arrest for "failure to appear". If the person secured bond through a bond agency, that agency will have their own bail enforcement agents actively seeking the person.

∙ 13y agoTypically, you would find out when you get arrested. After the arrest, you would be booked and appear for your first appearance hearing. At this time, bail may be set, and you may request representation. At some point in the future, you will have a preliminary hearing, where it can be determined if there is enough evidence to charge you. This may be in addition to or instead of a grand jury indictment. Later, you will have arraignment hearing, where you formally enter a plea of guilty or not guilty. If you enter a plea, your case will be resolved there. If you plead not guilty, your case will be set for a trial at a later date. At trial, the judge or jury will find you guilty or not guilty. If you are found not guilty, you will be released. If you are found guilty, then you are given a sentence (punishment) which may or may not include additional jail time.
If you have been charged with a crime, you need competent representation. If you cannot afford to hire a private attorney, apply for the public defender immediately. This is a serious matter, and you should not attempt to handle it without representation.

Out on bond for a felony and get a theft charge in evansville in but miss court date for the theft charge what will happen when you get an add on?
Question is not worded too clearly - but my belief is that you will have a warrant issued for your arrest for your FTA on the theft charge. When the court finds out about the theft charge it will probably revoke your bond (or the bail bondsman probably will because you are now a poor risk) and you will be remanded to jail.

Go to the courthouse from which the court order was issued. Explain to the court clerk how the order has been violated and that you want to file a contempt charge. The clerk will give you a "Show Cause" (or similar) form to fill out. The court will issue a summons to appear for court - don't miss the court date.
