Oklahoma statute 12 O.S. § 1148.10 establishes the official form and process for a writ of execution in eviction cases. When a court rules in favor of the plaintiff (typically a landlord), the court must issue this writ upon request, directing the county sheriff to remove the defendant from the premises and restore physical possession to the plaintiff. The writ also covers recovery of rent, attorney fees, and court costs. Additionally, the provision allows a defendant to file a motion for a new trial within three days of judgment, though doing so does not automatically pause or delay the execution of the writ.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under 12 O.S. § 1148.10, once a court enters judgment in a landlord's favor in a forcible entry and detainer action, the landlord, their agent, or their attorney may request that the court issue a writ of execution using the form specified in the statute. Compliant operators typically ensure this request is made promptly, as the writ directs the sheriff to remove the tenant and restore possession of the property. The writ also encompasses recovery of rent, attorney fees, and costs as awarded by the court.

Under 12 O.S. § 1148.10, if a court rules against a tenant in a forcible entry and detainer case, the landlord can request a writ of execution directing the sheriff to carry out the removal. Tenants should be aware that while a motion for a new trial may be filed within three days of the judgment, the statute explicitly states this motion does not stop or delay execution of the writ. Tenants facing this situation may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider to understand available options, including any grounds for challenging the judgment.
