6-123: FAILURE TO APPEAR ACCORDING TO TERMS OF BOND, FORFEITURE:
If, without sufficient excuse, a defendant fails to appear according to the terms and conditions of his bond, either for hearing, arraignment, trial or judgment, or upon any other occasion when his presence in court may be lawfully required, the judge may direct that fact to be entered upon the court minutes, thereby determining the bond to be forfeited. When the bond is other than a cash bond, without advancing court costs, the judge shall then cause the forfeiture to be certified to the district court of Oklahoma County, where it shall be entered upon a judgment docket and shall have the full force and effect of a district court judgment. At such time as the forfeiture is entered upon the district court judgment docket, the district court clerk shall proceed in accordance with the provisions of sections 1330 through 1333 and 1335 of title 59 of the Oklahoma Statutes. A surety shall have all remedies available under the provisions of section 1108 of title 22 and sections 1301 through 1340 of title 59 of the Oklahoma Statutes. Court costs shall be collectable from the proceeds and the bond. (Prior Code, Sec. 12-41)
