People miss their court dates all the time. If you hire a DUI attorney in your area he/she can clear the warrant, enter the plea of not guilty and get the case going in the right direction. Its best to have some reason why you failed to appear but its not required.

A Mississippi attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I hope you and your passenger are okay.
