Chapter 61: Procedure, Civil, For Limited Actions

Article 39: Appeals

Statute 61-3904: Execution on judgment pending appeal without bond. No execution shall issue upon a judgment, nor shall proceedings be taken for its enforcement, until the expiration of 10 days after its entry. If an appellant does not file a supersedeas bond as provided in the code of civil procedure for limited actions, the taking of an appeal shall not operate to stay proceedings for the enforcement of a final judgment or to take execution thereon. Nothing in this section shall be construed as limiting any power of a judge hearing such appeal to stay proceedings during the pendency of an appeal, to grant an injunction during the pendency of such appeal or to make any other appropriate order to preserve the status quo or the effectiveness of the judgment subsequently to be rendered.
