Service upon a domestic or foreign corporation or upon a partnership or other unincorporated association which is subject to suit in a common name, and from which a waiver has not been obtained and filed, shall be effected by delivering a copy of the summons and of the pleading to a partner, an officer, a managing or general agent, or to any other agent authorized by appointment or by law to receive service of process and, if the agent is one authorized by statute to receive service and the statute so requires, by also mailing a copy to the party on whose behalf the agent accepted or received service.

When a domestic corporation does not have an officer or agent in this state upon whom legal service of process can be made, service upon such domestic corporation shall be effected by depositing two copies of the summons and of the pleading being served in the office of the Corporation Commission, which shall be deemed personal service on such corporation. The return of the sheriff of the county in which the action or proceeding is brought that after diligent search or inquiry the sheriff has been unable to find any officer or agent of such corporation upon whom process may be served, shall be prima facie evidence that the corporation does not have such an officer or agent in this state. The Corporation Commission shall file one of the copies in its office and immediately mail the other copy, postage prepaid, to the office of the corporation, or to the president, secretary or any director or officer of such corporation as appears or is ascertained by the Corporation Commission from the articles of incorporation or other papers on file in its office, or otherwise.
(k) Alternative or Substituted Service. If service by one of the means set forth in the preceding paragraphs of this Rule 4.1 proves impracticable, then service may be accomplished in such manner, other than by publication, as the court, upon motion and without notice, may direct. Whenever the court allows an alternate or substitute form of service pursuant to this subpart, reasonable efforts shall be undertaken by the party making service to assure that actual notice of the commencement of the action is provided to the person to be served and, in any event, the summons and the pleading to be served, as well as any order of the court authorizing an alternative method of service, shall be mailed to the last known business or residence address of the person to be served.

(l) Service by Publication; Return. Where the person to be served is one whose residence is unknown to the party seeking service but whose last known residence address was within the state, or has avoided service of process, and service by publication is the best means practicable under the circumstances for providing notice of the institution of the action, then service may be made by publication in accordance with the requirements of this subpart. Such service shall be made by publication of the summons, and of a statement as to the manner in which a copy of the pleading being served may be obtained, at least once a week for four successive weeks (1) in a newspaper published in the county where the action is pending, and (2) in a newspaper published in the county of the last known residence of the person to be served if different from the county where the action is pending.

The service shall be complete thirty days after the first publication. When the residence of the person to be served is known, the party or officer making service shall also, on or before the date of the first publication, mail the summons and a copy of the pleading being served, postage prepaid, to that person at that person's place of residence. Service by publication and the return thereof may be made by the party procuring service or that party's attorney in the same manner as though made by an officer.

Rule 22. Interpleader
Rule 22(a). Interpleader
Persons having claims against the plaintiff may be joined as defendants and required to interplead when their claims are such that the plaintiff is or may be exposed to double or multiple liability. It is not ground for objection to the joinder that the claims of the several claimants or the titles on which their claims depend do not have a common origin or are not identical but are adverse to and independent of one another, or that the plaintiff avers that the plaintiff is not liable in whole or in part to any or all of the claimants. A defendant exposed to similar liability may obtain such interpleader by way of cross-claim or counterclaim. The provisions of this Rule supplement and do not in any way limit the joinder of parties permitted in Rule 20.
Rule 22(b). Release from liability; deposit or delivery
Any party invoking the interpleader, as provided by subdivision (a) of this Rule, may move the court for an order discharging that party from liability to either party, and upon depositing in court the amount claimed, or by delivering the property to the party entitled thereto, or into court as the court may direct, that party may be discharged.
Rule 24. Intervention
Rule 24(a). Intervention of Right
Upon timely application anyone shall be permitted to intervene in an action:
(1) when a statute confers an unconditional right to intervene; or
(2) when the applicant claims an interest relating to the property or transaction which is the subject of the action and the applicant is so situated that the disposition of the action may as a practical matter impair or impede the applicant's ability to protect that interest, unless the applicant's interest is adequately represented by existing parties.
Rule 24(b). Permissive intervention
Upon timely application anyone may be permitted to intervene in an action:
(1) When a statute confers a conditional right to intervene.
(2) When an applicant's claim or defense and the main action have a question of law or fact in common.
In exercising its discretion the court shall consider whether the intervention will unduly delay or prejudice the adjudication of the rights of the original parties.
Rule 24(c). Procedure
A person desiring to intervene shall serve a motion to intervene upon the parties as provided in Rule 5. The motion shall state the grounds therefor and shall be accompanied by a pleading setting forth the claim or defense for which intervention is sought.
Rule 24(d). Time to answer
If the motion to intervene is granted, the plaintiff and defendant shall be allowed a reasonable time, not exceeding twenty days, in which to answer the pleading of the intervener.
Rule 64.1. Civil Arrest Warrant
Rule 64.1(c). Content of warrant
The civil arrest warrant shall be ordered by the judge and issued by the clerk. It shall contain the name of the person to be arrested and a description by which such person can be identified with reasonable certainty. It shall command that the person named be brought before the judge or, if the judge is absent or unable to act, the nearest or most accessible judge in the same county. The warrant shall set forth a bond in a reasonable amount to guarantee the appearance of the arrested person, or an order that the arrested person be held without bond until the arrested person is seen by a judge.
Rule 64.1(d). Time and manner of execution
A civil arrest warrant is executed by the arrest of the person named therein. Unless the court otherwise directs upon a showing of good cause, a civil arrest warrant shall not be executed between the hours of ten p.m. and six-thirty a.m. The arrested person shall be brought immediately before the issuing judge if it is reasonably possible to do so.

Rule 64.1(e). Duty of court after execution of warrant
The judge shall advise the arrested person of the nature of the proceedings, release the arrested person on the least onerous terms and conditions which reasonably guarantee the required appearance, and set the date of the next court appearance.
