It looks like a fine is most likely, although I think if you missed it, calling and explaining might get you a Get Out of Jail Free card and a reassigned date. Car broke down on the way to court is always a good one. ;)

Echoing anarqueso, it depends on how organized/poor your state is. I have personally known 2 people who forgot/didn't show up on the day of jury duty and nothing happened to them. Ironically, the one who forgot and called the courthouse later got chewed out, but the one who just never showed up was not punished in any way at all.
