No. It is very likely that the court will issue a warrant for the original charge and for failure to appear and you won't be released before court again.
A person can only be convicted of a crime once said person has had his or her "day in court". This applies to those persons who are willing to plead guilty to a crime as well as those who plead innocent. The person accused/charged with the crime must appear before a judge to enter their plea (known as arraignment). If the person pleads guilty her or she is bound over w/o bail for sentencing. If the person pleads not guilty he or she wil be given a court date for trial and may or may not be released on bail depending upon the circumstances.
