Not enough information is disclosed inthe question.
If it was a bench warrant that was issued for you, it will remain in effect until withdrawn by the issuing judge.
If you were a material witness in a criminal tlrial and your "no show" caused a mistrial it is possible that you could be charged criminally.
If it was for a civil trial, you may be facing a fine or a civil contempt charge.
Not enough is known in order to give a more exact or specific answer.

Will you get arrested if you got a subpoena as a witness to a theft by shoplifting and you do not go?
Yes, it would be Contempt of Court and a warrant could be issued.
You were subpoena as a victim to court your boyfriend hit you?
Too many variables to answer the question. How serious was the assault? What was he charged with? Were there witnesses to it? What (if any) is his criminal record? (it would have a bearing on the severity of the prosecution) If you were served with a subpoena to testify as a witness, I suggest that you appear as directed. If not, the judge COULD issue a warrant for your arrest and compel you to appear.
What is quashing violation warrant?
It means that a court threw out the violation warrant as being invalid or against your rights. Many times, courts make a mistake by not processing paperwork fast enough and then realize all the requirements were met after issuing an arrest warrant. This means the judge would have to void the violation warrant.
How do you deliver a subpoena for court if you have no idea where this person may be?
Assuming you are talking about a subpoena, if you would like to subpoena a witness, the onus is on you to find them. If you can't find them through traditional search methods, you may need to hire a private investigator to locate and serve them.
How would you use subpoena in a sentence?
I have received a subpoena stating that I must attend court next Friday 13th.
What is a Violation of Patrol warrant in Maryland?
I assume you mean a Violation of Parole. Parole is an early release from prison based on terms and conditions that must be abided by. Failure to meet these conditions, such as breaking the law again, would result in a violation of parole. In this case, a retake warrant would be issued for your arrest and return to prison.
Can a witness not appear if he has a doctors note?
Being a witness at a trial is not like being a student in school. A doctor's note will not automatically excuse you. At the very least contact the attorney that subpoena' d you and notify them. You'd better be plenty sick or injured. If you're subpoena'd as a witness in a trial I would NOT fail to show up to answer the subpoena and later hope that the judge will forgive you.
What happenes if you ment to go to court for a witness and you dont go but they plead guilty?
If you were sent a court summons or subpoena to show up and testify and you didnt go they could issue a bench warrant for failing to appear in court and you could be arrested and or fined ,However If you just told the person that you would come and testify for them and you did not receive a summons or subpoena from the court, then you are not bound by law to appear and nothing will happen whether they plead guilty or not.
If you have a bench warrant and it is 25 years old do they reopened the case that you were arrested for or do they just deal with the bench warrant and vacate it?
The police would have to have evidince (police witness) and the will to do so, it would probable be vacated
Can an opposing attorney be a witness?
Yes, they can. Typically a defense attorney will subpoena the witness, but the attorney may request that the court order the witness to remain in the court after testifying for the state. This assumes there is evidence the witness has to offer that cannot be brought out on cross examination of them for some reason. The better practice is to issue a subpoena.
What if your ex is on felony probation and just got a bench warrant for Child Support will he go back to jail for violation of probation?
It depends on how his sentence of probation is structured. Child Support is a civil offense, not a criminal offense, but if he flees to avoid the bench warrant THAT definitely would be a violation.
If you don't appear in court after you're summoned what happens?
A subpoena is a court order to appear. If the subpoena is ignored, the court may issue a bench warrant. This would result in a sheriff's deputy arresting you and bringing you before the court to explain why you disobeyed the order. The ultimate result could be a fine or jail.
