for failure to appear in court, and driving with a suspended liscense. Does anyone know how long it will take for him to go before a judge? Also, what kind of court will he be in? is it public?

He will appear in front of the judge at the judges convenience.
Sounds like you need a better class of friends.

Oh lord , you have a problem there .
He does lame stuff like failure to appear and had a suspended license ? Why would you hang with people with no honor ?
You seriously need to find some self respect and decide to live your life with some honor , which you can not do if you hang with skanky criminals .
He could appear before a judge any time this week but given that he has proved himself to be trash , the bond , may well be much more than he can afford. All courts are public . . . but you should make NO appearance and should be planning to put your life on a good path before it is too late.

I started to say of course the court will be public but some jails have a court room at the jail and the judge comes to them, so it will just depend on your counties rules and regs.
Since he did not appear in court, there would be a warrant out for him, that is why there is no bond.
He will appear first before the court where he failed to appear. Normally within the week.

I shouldn't take long (couple of weeks to a month)... he will be appearing before just the judge and himself and what is usually required if he has been suspended for not paying or appearing in court for tickets is that he just pays all tickets and penalties either at that time or before he gets to court.. best that he pays them before the court date and he can get all the info he needs though the court clerk.Not as bad as it seems so don't worry.
ah i just read w/o bond.. must be he lost his licence due to a DWI?? If thats the case immediately contact an attorney..

Bascially....they put him in front of a judge when they get to it. It should be soon but they can also wait for various reasons. Contact the courthouse to find out if it's a public hearing. Usually in cases like this they are in and out because they have so many. He may go in front of a judge once to set a hearing and then again for the actual hearing.
I've been there done that....they held me over a week one time before they put me in front of a judge so I could post bond.

He should be presented in front of a judge asap. Otherwise his rights are violated. For example, the day after the arrest, or on Monday after the weekend. As long as he is not underage, the proceeding will be public. He should be in a local county or district court.

Generally speaking they attend court on mon or tuesday of the week following. He should be in General District and or Traffic court. Depends on the locality

They can hold him for failure to appear and bond may be denied. (He broke his end of the deal to show up)
He probably saw a judge this morning....if not...what's it matter? He will possibly be held longer. This is public info and your responsibility to inquire. (they won't call)
Why suspended license? (Driving under influence?)

Bond should have been set already, unless he was arrested on capias warrants. Those are warrants where he has already been convicted of the offense. If its a capias warrant, he'll stay until he pays or works off the fine amount.
