Can you go to jail for a failure to appear in traffic court... If you are picked up and held until a court date will the judge likely sentence jail time or time served if you were held until court?

I believe that there are actually TWO questions here. The answer to the traffic court question is: No you won't - unless you were charged with a serious offense such as DUI or vehicular manslaughter or similar. If you don't appear the judge will find you guilty en absentia, and you will get the fine and the points. On the second question; if you fail to make dcourt because you are being held in jail on an un-related offense, it is unlikely that the judge will apply THAT jail time against the case you failed to show up for.

Does an infraction appear on your criminal record in California and I don't mean a traffic infraction?
Then why did you add it to the Traffic Violation and Ticket category? If it is not a traffic violation then it is most likely a minor misdemeanor offense. A misdemeanor is a crime, therefore, it WILL show up on your adult criminal record.
What kind of warrant stops you from getting your drivers license?
Any unresolved traffic matter--an unpaid fine, failure to appear on a traffic citation, allowing your insurance to lapse--can cause your drivers license to be suspended or for you to be barred from renewing it. A criminal arrest warrant unrelated to traffic, such as for shoplifting or battery, might also keep you from renewing your license, although that doesn't happen as often. It's more likely the warrant would be discovered at the motor vehicle bureau, and you would be arrested there.
