When court is closed due to bad weather, do they have to serve papers to me again in order for me to appear at the new date?

No. Once you are serve, you are on notice of a pending case against you and are responsible then for keeping track of the court dates or hiring a lawyer to keep track of them for you.

Not likely. Once you've been served, you are on notice that there is a pending matter and you have an obligation to keep track of all appearances and deadlines. You should contact the clerk of the court and make sure you know the new date and time.

Usually not, although we don't have these issues in Los Angeles, California. Contact the court clerk immediately to find out the status of your case.
