1-8-16: 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 Pottawatomie 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 59 Oklahoma Statutes sections 1331 through 1335. A surety shall have all remedies available under the provisions of 22 Oklahoma Statutes section 1108, and 59 Oklahoma Statutes sections 1301 through 1340. Court costs shall be collectable from the proceeds and the bond. (1987 Code § 6-127)
