Okla. Stat. tit. 20, § 20-91.1: District courts as successors to jurisdiction of various

other courts.

The district courts of the State of Oklahoma are the successors

to the jurisdiction of all other courts, including the Superior

Courts, the County Courts, the Courts of Common Pleas, Special

Sessions Courts, Courts of Special Sessions, City Courts, Juvenile

Courts, Children's Courts, Justice of the Peace Courts, and

municipal courts in civil matters and proceedings for the violation

of state statutes. Wherever reference is made in the Oklahoma

Statutes to any of the above courts or to the judge thereof, it

shall be deemed to refer to the district court or a judge thereof;

provided, however, that any statute that refers to the salary of the

judge of any Superior Court, Court of Common Pleas, County Court,

Juvenile Court, or Children's Court, insofar as that portion of the

statute dealing with salary is concerned, shall not be deemed to

refer to any district judge, associate district judge or special

judge, and any salary mentioned in such statute shall not be paid to

the judge who succeeded to the jurisdiction of the judge who is

named in the statute.
