My request for a continuance was denied, but I really cant come to Court. What is going to happen when I dont show up?
If your Motion to Continue was denied, the end result will depend on what type of case you have. If you are the Plaintiff in a civil case, failure to appear at hearing could result in a dismissal of your case. If you are the Defendant in a civil case, failure to appear at hearing could result in a judgment being rendered against you for the amount of money requested by the Plaintiff. If you are the Defendant in a traffic or criminal case, failure to appear could result in a warrant for your arrest and a forfeiture of any posted bond. If your bond is forfeited, you could be forced to post a higher bond and any cash bond you had previously posted could be turned over to the Court and you would not get it back. If you are a subpoenaed witness, and you fail to appear at the scheduled date and time, a warrant could be issued for your arrest.
