In a civil case in Oklahoma State court, as plaintiff, is notice required to call a rebuttal witness?

I represent Plaintiff in a Civil case in Oklahoma state court, Oklahoma County. We're at trial and I need to call a rebuttal witness. Is there any kind of notice requirement (notice to the other party) to do so? I was thinking it might be something like a required 72 hour notice, but I can't find it anywhere in the stats or the court rules. Thank you so much for your help.In a civil case in Oklahoma State court, as plaintiff, is notice required to call a rebuttal witness?
You have to submit a list of all witnesses you intend to call as soon as possible. If you become aware of a witness late in the trial, you will need the judge's approval to use him. If the reason for your delay is reasonable, i.e., you could not have know wbaout him earlier, the judge will probably object, but the judge wil probably overrule the object if it's clear that you only discovered the witness late in the game and were not tryig to spring him on the defense as a surprise.In a civil case in Oklahoma State court, as plaintiff, is notice required to call a rebuttal witness?
If this is where you are coming for legal advice you are walking on the dangerous side of malpractice. Call an experienced lawyer in your jurisdiction, ****, call a state law school and ask the professor of criminal procedure.
