Frequently Asked Questions
How do I serve a subpoena issued under Oklahoma's interstate discovery act?
The same way as any Oklahoma subpoena -- Section 3253 requires compliance with subsection B of Section 2004.1 of Title 12.
Is there a special service procedure just for foreign subpoenas?
No. The subpoena the clerk issues under Section 3252 follows Oklahoma's regular subpoena-service rule.
Does the subpoena still have to reflect the terms of the out-of-state case?
Yes, indirectly -- Section 3252 already requires the Oklahoma subpoena to incorporate the terms of the foreign subpoena; Section 3253 then governs how that resulting subpoena is served.
