OR REMINDERS

The attorney must execute the Oath of Attorney to Obtain OR Privileges before a notary public. The attorney submits the notarized oath to the Tulsa County Bar Association and pays a $30 fee. The Tulsa County Bar Association will give the attorney the OR card.

The Attorney submits the Attorney’s Affidavit of Responsibility for the Court Appearance of the Client and Statement by Defendant, along with their OR card and photo ID (driver’s license), to the Deputy Court Clerks. For the release of clients in the custody of David L. Moss, Municipal Deputy Court Clerks will approve the OR form, obtain the signature of the defendant, and issue the release. District Deputy Court Clerks will follow the same instructions for clients surrendered in court. Pursuant to Administrative Order CV-2004- 8, each OR will be assessed a preset cash bond of $1.00. Municipal Clerks will issue a receipt and forward the cash to the District Court in the matter prescribed for cash bonds. Minute Clerks will direct the Attorneys to the Criminal & Traffic Division for the payment of $1.00; when presented with the receipt, they shall issue the release.

OR bonds issued for District Court cases will be forwarded to the Criminal & Traffic Division. The divisional clerks will enter the information into the case docket and the bond screen.

When a client fails to appear for court, the District Minute Clerks will issue the appropriate minute, bench warrant, and Order and Judgment of Forfeiture Suspension of Attorney. The Judge must sign the Order, and the minute clerk will sign the Suspension Notice. The Order and Judgment will be forwarded to the Criminal & Traffic Division for completion of the certificate of mailing and mailing to the Attorney and the Tulsa County Bar Association by first class mail. Mailing to the Tulsa County Bar Association should be directed to the attention of the executive director.

The Tulsa County Bar Association will prepare and maintain the suspension list. The suspension list will be e-mailed to Chief Erik Kitch and Sgt. Tressi Mizzell with the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office and Judge Mitch McCune at the Municipal Court Clerk’s office. After the initial suspension list is distributed, the list shall be updated and sent when additions or deletions to the list occur.
