Official statutory text
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 67. Records Page 8
Any owner of said abstracts, copies or minutes shall have the
right to file a petition at any regular term of the county or
district court of the county, in which petition he shall set forth
the manner in which such abstracts, copies or minutes were made or
procured, and if the court shall find from the evidence produced
(which evidence shall be preserved as hereinbefore provided) that
said abstracts, copies, or minutes were fairly made in the regular
course of business before such destruction of the records, the court
shall enter his decree to that effect, and the evidence produced on
the trial of said cause shall be entered of record at large as a
part of the decree of the court. And thereupon said abstracts,
copies or minutes of said burnt records shall be taken as prima
facie evidence of all such matters as they contain (but no such
abstract, copies, minutes or extracts shall be taken or held to be
prima facie evidence of what they contain that does not purport to
recite all deeds and mortgages previously executed and recorded, and
describing the several tracts of land and town lots to which said
abstracts, copies, minutes or extracts refer from the date of
entry): Provided, that all abstracts to separate tracts of lands
made by the owner of said abstracts shall also be taken as prima
facie evidence of what they contain when they shall be accompanied
with an affidavit signed and sworn to by the owner of said
abstracts, copies, minutes or extracts, showing that said separate
abstracts contain a full, true and perfect copy of all transfers on
the tracts set forth in said separate abstracts as appears upon said
abstracts, copies, minutes or extracts, as established by the county
or district court of the county, and that said separate abstracts
contain all deeds, mortgages and other liens on said separate
tracts, as shown by said abstracts, copies, minutes or extracts
established as aforesaid.
