If you don't show up to the courthouse when your case is called by the judge, the judge may issue a Failure to Appear (FTA). An FTA can result in a bench warrant. A bench warrant is a warrant for your arrest because of missing the court date. The DMV may also suspend your license for failure to appear.
If you do not go to jury duty when summoned, the judge will typically issue you a second summons. If you continue to not go to jury duty, you can be held in contempt of court. Contempt of court can carry a fine or even jail time. You can avoid this outcome by showing that your absence was excusable.
