I noticed that for speeding tickets and class C misdemeanors in Texas, the court will schedule an announcement repeatedly. If a defendant appears before the court for the announcement and announces ready for trial, the court will then set another announcement for a month away. And the process will sometimes repeat itself month after month for years.
What would happen if the defendant doesn't show up? Would the court just take it as a default announcement of 'ready for trial' or would it issue a warrant for the arrest of the defendant?
