Failure to appear in court, in and of itself, is not typically considered a felony in Kansas. Repeatedly failing to appear in court or failing to comply with court orders may result in additional legal consequences, including potential felony charges, depending on the circumstances.

For example, if a person fails to appear in court as required after being released on bond or as a condition of probation, they may face charges of bail jumping or probation violation, which can be classified as felonies depending on the underlying offense and other factors.

If a person’s failure to appear in court is related to a felony charge or case, the court may issue a warrant for their arrest, and they could face additional felony charges related to the underlying offense.

Take any court appearance requirements seriously and comply with court orders to avoid potential legal consequences. If you have questions or concerns about appearing in court or addressing a failure to appear issue in Kansas, consider consulting with a legal professional for guidance tailored to your specific situation.
