Text
If, at the time of the service of the attachment, the claim upon which suit is brought is not
due, the defendant need not appear in the action until the maturity of the demand, unless the
defendant elects to plead, in which event the cause shall stand for trial when it is reached in
its regular order, and no final judgment shall be rendered therein before the maturity of the
debt unless such election is made, but if perishable property is levied upon, it may be sold as
in other attachment cases.
