Sometimes the law enforcement officer just doesn't get all of his tickets filed with the court. When this happens, the court may simply issue a new court date. The danger is that you may not receive notification in a timely fashion. On a serious charge such as a DWI or DUI, you definitely need to hire the best attorney you can afford. The attorney can probably monitor the new case filings and keep you from being arrested on a warrant. In other cases where there is a history, the prosecutor may be considering refiling the charge at a more serious level. In any event, hire an attorney.
