Where this section sits in the code
- OK Code
- Title 12
When a witness fails to attend in obedience to a subpoena
(except in case of a demand and failure to pay his fees), the court
or officer before whom his attendance is required may issue an
attachment to the sheriff, coroner or constable of the county,
commanding him to arrest and bring the person therein named before
the court or officer, at a time and place to be fixed in the
attachment, to give his testimony and answer for the contempt. If
the attachment be not for immediately bringing the witness before
the court or officer, a sum may be fixed in which the witness may
give an undertaking, with surety, for his appearance; such sum shall
be endorsed on the back of the attachment; and if no sum is so fixed
and endorsed, it shall be One Hundred Dollars ($100.00). If the
witness be not personally served, the court may, by a rule, order
him to show cause why an attachment should not issue against him.
