Q: I was charged domestic violence 3rd ordered to take classes and didn't whats going to happen
A: You probably pleaded guilty and have received some sort of pre-trial diversion or other withheld adjudication program. You were required to take classes, but ignored that court order. At best, your probation will be extended if you immediately start the classes (I suggest you start them before you go back to Court). At worst, you will be adjudicated guilty of the crime, and the sentence that was probated will be imposed -- and that probably means you go to jail. You must not ignore a court order. You badly need a lawer to negotiate this on your behalf.
