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.

I depends on the court - it depends on the case - it depends on the offense or civil violation - it depends on the reason you were summoned - it depends on who you were summoned by - in other words... too many variables to answer the question. .
