Receiving a summons means you have been ordered to make an "appearance" in court. An "appearance" can mean, showing up in person (e.g. to plead guilty or not guilty to a criminal charge). In a civil matter (i.e. non-criminal case) an appearance is made when you or your lawyer files an "answer" which is a legal document that admits, denies or otherwise responds to the allegations in a "complaint". A complaint is the legal document that is filed with a court to start a lawsuit.

On the paper you received it should state what it is all about. It is a summons to show in court. It will give the time, date and what county and court room it takes place in.

You've been summoned to appear in court. If it's a civil matter like someone wants money from you, if you don't go they'll receive a default judgement against you ie you have to pay them whether you owe them or not.

means you better show up in court or be in contempt. If you have been served by a process server, by publication or other legal means that can be verified, you have to appear or risk a default judgement and or sanctions against you.
You have been summoned (ordered) to appear in a court of law for a legal action.

Just that you receive a document that summonses you or whoever receives it to attend, in most cases, a court. It can be because you are accused of an offence or you may be a witness

You will be taken from here, to a lawful place of execution, where you will be hanged by the neck until you are dead.
Then we will rifle through your pockets and nick all your money.
Let that be a lesson to all who park on double yellow lines.
