In this state you would go before the judge for an arraignment. You would consult with the judge concerning an attorney before you would be allowed to enter a plea.

You would be informed that the state would appoint you an attorney if you can not afford one. (They do not inform you he will be just out of law school and not have any idea what he is doing.)
Can you be .convicted without going to court?
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.
