First of all, make sure you use a proper salutation, ie. Dear Judge (surname). And also make sure you include whatever case number is assigned to the case you are writing about. Finally, refrain from melodramatic use of emotions. If giving your assessment of a situation, include all necessary details, accurately.
The Judge will ask you how you will plead, guilty or not guilty. You'll plead not guilty, usually and then the Judge will set the case for some other pre-trial hearings and if you cannot afford an attorney, the Judge will appoint one for you. Also, at the arraignment, the Judge is going to set release conditions.
You can also reach out to local legal entities. This could be the court's clerk office. Simply ask if there are any legal documents with your name on them that haven't been delivered yet. This is like calling customer service to check if they've dispatched that order you forgot you made.
If the defendant tries to evade service by staying away from their home, you can serve them at their workplace or another public place. If that does not work, you may need to locate another address to serve them at.
