You may have another failure to appear charge against you, which could result in additional fine or penalties. Whether you have an attorney, contact the court immediately to reschedule the hearing. Present your good faith evidence why you missed the court date and beg the judge to pardon you. The court may choose to approve the deal if you do everything right from now.

Hell no. If they have to go 'catch' you, that deal is dead. However, if you voluntarily turn yourself in with a reasonable excuse why you missed the date, your attorney will be able to better argue for sympathy. If serious about hiring counsel to help you in this, feel free to contact me.
