Plain-English Summary
On the plaintiff's application, and for good cause, the court -- or any judge of it acting during vacation -- may appoint a receiver in an attachment case. Before the receiver can act, he swears an oath to discharge his duty faithfully and gives an undertaking to the State of Oklahoma, in whatever sum the court or judge sets, with security the clerk approves.
That bond guarantees faithful performance of the receiver's duties and requires him to pay over and account for all money and property that comes into his hands, at the times and in the manner the court directs.
