Description
1 Petitioner, Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad Company, a foreign corporation, seeks in this original proceeding a writ of prohibition directed to the respondent, Judge of the District Court of the Judicial District which includes Creek County, Oklahoma, to restrain and prohibit said respondent from continuing to exercise jurisdiction over petitioner in a cause now pending in the respondents court. The thrust of petitioners argument is that venue is improperly laid in Creek County regarding petitioner because it is a foreign corporation and such entities are entitled to be sued only in those counties within Oklahoma fitting the circumstances set forth in certain specific venue statutes of this state. Our attention is called to 18 O.S. 1961 ? 471 and 12 O.S. 1961 ?? 137 and 135 . It is argued that all of the cited sections of the statutes are specific venue statutes designating with certainty the places within Oklahoma where an action may be brought against a foreign corporation or (in the case of 12 O.S. 1961 ? 135 ) a transportation company.
