A.  The order of removal from the county must be entered upon
the minutes and the court clerk must thereupon make out, and within
ten (10) days transmit to the county to which the action is removed,
a certified copy of the order of removal and the record, and shall
transmit the pleadings including the undertaking for the appearance
of the defendant, and of the witnesses, and the cause must be
docketed and stand for trial within six (6) months from the date the
cause was ordered removed.
B.  If an order of removal is entered, all expenses incurred as
a result of the action prior to the date of the order of removal
shall be taxed as costs and shall remain payable to the court fund
of the county from which the action was removed.
C.  Except as otherwise provided by this section, the court fund
of the county from which the action is removed shall be liable for
the expense and charge of removing, delivering and keeping the
prisoner, and the fees of jurors and witnesses in attendance during
the trial, court reporter's fees, all fees and mileage of the
sheriff, and the per diem of bailiffs during the time said cause is

on trial, and such other expenses as may be lawfully incurred
incident to the trial, which costs and expenses shall be approved by
the Court Administrator of the Supreme Court of the State of
Oklahoma and certified by the clerk of the court to which the action
was transferred to the court clerk of the county from which the
cause was removed and shall show the name of each person and the
amount due to him.
D.  On receipt of such certificate, the clerk of the court from
which the action was transferred shall draw his warrants on the
court fund for the total amount of costs allowed by the transferee
court, payable to the order of the court fund of the transferee
court subject to the order of the person entitled thereto, and
forward the same to the clerk of the court where the cause was
tried, who shall deposit it in the court fund.
E.  If the court fund of the county from which the action was
removed does not contain sufficient revenue to make payment to the
transferee court, the court clerk of the payor county shall notify
the Administrative Director of the courts who shall make payment of
any deficiency in the amount due and owing to the transferee court
from the Supreme Court Revolving Fund.
F.  All fees not claimed two (2) years after having been
received by the clerk of the transferee court, shall by him be
returned to the clerk of the transferor court to be held in the
court fund for the benefit of the owner for a period of one (1)
year, and, if not claimed within that time, such fees shall become
the property of the court fund of the county.
