Plain-English Summary
A defendant's property doesn't always sit in one county. Section 1155 lets a plaintiff send attachment orders to sheriffs in several counties, choosing whether to issue them all at once or one after another.
Only the orders that get executed count as taxable costs, unless the court directs otherwise, so a plaintiff can't run up costs by issuing orders to counties where nothing is ultimately seized.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I attach a defendant's property in more than one Oklahoma county?
Yes. Section 1155 lets a plaintiff have orders of attachment issued to sheriffs in different counties, either at the same time or in succession.
Do I have to pay for attachment orders sent to counties where nothing was seized?
Not as a general rule. Only orders that were executed get taxed as costs, unless the court orders otherwise.
Is there a cap on how many counties I can send attachment orders to?
No. Section 1155 doesn't limit the number of counties; a plaintiff can choose to issue orders to several sheriffs at once or in succession.
