A subpoena unlike a civil summons is a direct order from the court for appearance at the place and time stipulated. FTA can result in a contempt of court charge which is punishable by fines and/or imprisonment. If said subpoena relates to a criminal offense, other charges both civil and criminal could apply.

Must you answer a subpoena within 10 days?

A subpoena is not something you answer. A subpoena is a court order requiring you to appear in court. States have a certain amount of time in which you must be served with the subpoena prior to the court date, ranging from 2 days to as long as 14 days. Your state may require 10 days notice. In any event, if you have been served with a subpoena, you need to appear as directed. If you cannot appear, you should contact the party who issued the subpoena and discuss your problem.
