Okla. Stat. tit. 20, § 20-106.4a: Transcripts - Access to copies - Costs

A transcript of the court reporter's notes, upon request and for

the use of an indigent defendant or a district attorney, may not be

charged to the court fund unless, before its preparation, the cost

to be incurred was authorized by written judicial order.

When a judge authorizes or orders a transcript of the court

reporter's notes of any proceeding to be prepared at the expense of

the court fund, or where a prosecuting attorney orders such a

transcript at public or court fund expense and the accused as an

indigent is constitutionally entitled to a free copy of the

transcript, a reporter shall prepare an original and two copies of

the transcript so ordered and file it with the clerk of the trial

court. The court reporter shall immediately notify the district

attorney and the defendant of the date the transcript was filed. The

district attorney and the defendant shall have access to the copies

of the transcript on such terms as the trial court may impose. The

chief judge may prescribe rules for access to or disposition of the

copies of the transcript.
