In Indiana, your first two tickets for 37 and 35 over the posted speed limits likely resulted in your receiving 12 points on your license. This would be 6 points for each citation for driving over 25 mph in excess of the speed limit. Out of state moving violation convictions for which Indiana has a corresponding violation may be placed on your IN driver's record along with points assessed. This means the recent ticket you received in Ohio for 20 over the speed limit will likely result in another 4 points on your IN license. If you received all of these points to your driving record you would have a total of 16 points. If you are over 18 in Indiana and receive more than 12 points on your record within a 2 year period the IN Bureau of Motor Vehicles can require you to attend a BMV approved driver improvement program. Failure to complete the course within a specified time period will result in suspension of your driver's license. As for your Ohio court appearance, you will need to contact the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles or the court listed on your citation to find out what your penalties could be in Ohio for this violation. Once this citation is taken care of, you can then contact the IN BMV to see if there will be penalties, such as those listed above, in Indiana or not.
