Okla. Stat. tit. 20, § 20-644: Courts or counties abolished or abandoned - Courts

declared invalid - Transfer of pending cases.

Whenever any court is heretofore or may hereafter be created and

thereafter abandoned, or where any county is heretofore or hereafter

abandoned, all civil or criminal cases, which may be filed in such

created courts or in the courts of such created counties, shall be

transferred to the court of said county wherein such court town is

located, or, if the county is created and thereafter abandoned, the

cases filed, and the dockets and records of said court are hereby

transferred, and a new county created and thereafter abandoned, all

cases filed in the district court or in the county court, shall be

hereafter transferred into courts of such counties having

jurisdiction over the territory formerly under the jurisdiction of

such county and courts and such judge, of the newly organized

county, or the county in which the territory of such courts was

located, shall have complete jurisdiction over all cases therein

pending and dispose of same as if said cases were originally filed

in such court and dispose of things as fully and completely as if

such court had original jurisdiction of said matter. Whenever a

court is created with jurisdiction concurrent to that of a district

court and such newly created court is later abandoned, abolished, or

declared invalid, all civil or criminal cases filed in such created

court shall be transferred to the district court of the district

wherein such created court exercised concurrent jurisdiction. The

transfer of said cases shall be accomplished forthwith under the

direction of the district judge by the court clerk of the county in

which said created court is later abandoned, abolished, or declared

invalid, and said transfer to the district court shall have the same

effect as if said cases had been originally filed in the said

district court and no additional court costs shall be assessed for

such transfer or docketing in the district court. Said district

court shall be the successor court for all purposes to the created

court which was later abandoned, abolished, or declared invalid.
