Ask whether the missed date produced an ordinary bench warrant, a new hearing, or a sign-and-release notice. Minnesota Statute section 629.415 creates a non-arrest procedure for certain misdemeanor and gross-misdemeanor failures to appear. It supplies a new date but does not erase the duty to attend. A release-condition violation may follow a different route under the criminal rules. After any appearance or payment, keep the court order or receipt and ask Court Administration to confirm the updated status.
