Can a bench warrant be issued for failure to appear in court for a civil case where a subpoena was issued?

Yes.


Can a bench warrant be issued for failure to appear in court for a civil case where the summons was sent in the mail but never personally served on the defendant?

A bench warrant will not issue in a civil action for failure to appear on a summons. At best, the party who fails to appear will have a judgment entered against him/her whether it was served by mail or not. Failure to answer a summons is simply tantamount to admitting the allegations in the complaint are true and judgment should be entered as requested.


What is the legal definition of a citation?

TO WIKIANSWER: THIS IS NOT COPYRIGHTED. IT IS TAKEN FROM AN ONLINE DICTIONARY citation n. 1) a notice to appear in court due to the probable commission of a minor crime such as a traffic violation, failure to keep a dog on a leash, drinking liquor in a park where prohibited, letting a dog loose without a leash, and in some states for possession of a small amount of marijuana. Failure to appear can result in a warrant for the citee's arrest. 2) a notice to appear in court in a civil matter in which the presence of a party appears necessary, usually required by statute, such as a person whose relatives wish to place him/her under a conservatorship (take over and manage his/her affairs). 3) the act of referring to (citing) a statute, precedent-setting case or legal textbook, in a brief (written legal court statement) or argument in court, called "citation of authority." 4) the section of the statute or the name of the case as well as the volume number, the report series and the page number of a case referred to in a brief, points and authorities, or other legal argument. Example: United States v. Wong Kim Ark, (1898) 169 U. S. 649, which is the name of the case, the year when decided, with the decision found at volume 169 of the United States [Supreme Court] Reporter at page 649. A citation also refers to the case itself, as in "counsel's citation of the Wong case is not in point."
