This is somewhat of a follow-up question.....If a check has been written on an closed account but the person never tried to cash the check, is it still considered a felony in terms of being punished???

Passing a worthless check is the crime. Whether it is cashed or not is irrelevant.

Yes, it is. The felony occured when the person who wrote the check signed it, knowing the account was closed. That is the moment in which "intent" is proven. It has nothing to do with whether or not check is cashed by another person.
Not knowing more about the circumstances, it's hard to say more.

Well, if they did not try to cash or use the check in any way. How did they get caught??

The crime is writing the check. Yes, it would still be the same crime as if the drawee attempted to cash the check.
