The plaintiff or agent of the plaintiff or officer shall\n\nimmediately notify the defendant in person or by posting of said\n\nnotice that the plaintiff or agent of the plaintiff or officer shall\n\nreturn in forty-eight (48) hours to restore the plaintiff possession\n\nof the premises by executing the writ prescribed in Section 1148.10\n\nof this title and shall make levy to collect the amount of the\n\njudgment and all accruing costs.\n\nB. The original writ of execution issued as provided by Section\n\n1148.10 of this title shall be filed in the action in the manner\n\nprovided for judgments in civil cases.\n\nC. The plaintiff or agent of the plaintiff may execute the writ\n\nupon the defendant by personally serving a certified copy of the\n\nwrit upon the defendant or upon a person authorized to receive\n\nservice of process as provided by Section 2004 of this title. If\n\nthe plaintiff or agent of the plaintiff is unable to personally\n\nserve the defendant or a person authorized to receive service of\n\nprocess as provided by Section 2004 of this title, the plaintiff or\n\nagent of the plaintiff may post a notice in a conspicuous place at\n\nthe premises address that the plaintiff or agent of the plaintiff\n\nshall return at a specified date and time, which shall be not less\n\nthan forty-eight (48) hours from the time of posting, to restore the\n\nplaintiff to physical possession of the premises by executing the\n\nwrit prescribed in Section 1148.10 of this title.\n\nD. Any person who wrongfully refuses to surrender physical\n\npossession of the premises described in the writ of execution upon\n\nservice of the writ by the plaintiff or the agent of the plaintiff\n\nshall, upon conviction, be deemed guilty of a trespass and may be\n\npunished by a fine in an amount not to exceed Five Hundred Dollars\n\n($500.00) or by confinement in the county jail for a period not to\n\nexceed thirty (30) days or by both such fine and imprisonment.\n\nE. The plaintiff or the agent of the plaintiff may summon\n\neither the sheriff of the county or the law enforcement agency of\n\nthe city or town in which the premises are located for assistance in\n\nexecuting the writ.\n\nF. The plaintiff's, the agent of the plaintiff's, or the\n\nofficer's return shall be as upon other executions. Within two (2)\n\ndays of the date of the judgment, the defendant may post a\n\nsupersedeas bond conditioned as provided by law. This time limit\n\nmay be enlarged by a trial judge's order to not more than seven (7)\n\ndays after the date of judgment. The posting of a supersedeas bond\n\nshall not be construed to relieve the defendant of his or her duty\n\nto pay current rent as it becomes due while the appeal is pending.\n\nThe rent shall be paid into the court clerk's office together with\n\npoundage. If there be controversy as to the amount of rent, the\n\njudge shall determine by order how much shall be paid in what time\n\nintervals. Withdrawal by the plaintiff of rent deposited in the\n\ncourt clerk's office pending appeal shall not operate to estop him\n\nor her from urging on appeal his or her right to the possession of\n\nthe premises. Failure to pay current rentals while the appeal is\n\npending shall be considered as abandonment of the appeal.","path":["OK Code","Title 12"],"source_url":"https://www.oklegislature.gov/OK_Statutes/CompleteTitles/os12.pdf","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:36Z","sha256":"7c9f22a40ff0473fc978d1a947aaf9297a895ac17e643e24b1e188a282e9aab1","source_id":"us-ok","stale":false,"prev":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-12-12-1148.10","next":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-12-12-1148.10b"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
