Unless there has been some pre-trial limitation that's been put on your travel, you should be free to leave the country. That is, so long as you return for your court appearance. If, after your trial you are then put on probation and there are restrictions imposed on your travelingl, then you must comply with them. If you have any further questions, you can consult directly with a criminal law attorney in your area.
