Will the court send me something in the mail telling me tht there is a bench warrent that has been issued for me?
About 2 weeks ago I missed my court date for a show cause hearing due to car troubles. I know that I probably have a bench warrant and am trying to save money for a lawyer and take care of this ASAP. I figured that the court would send something the mail saying that I have a bench warrant or a date for me to come in but I haven’t recieved anything; it’s been just under 2 weeks. How can I find out?

In Massachusetts, you won't get any additional notice. The first notice you may get is when you are arrested by the police. I strongly suggest that you go to the court today and present yourself. The court will recall the warrant and address any issues caused by your default.
