N.M. Stat. § 31-8-3
Witness from another state summoned to testify in this
state.
If a person in any state, which by its laws has made provision for commanding
persons within its borders to attend and testify in criminal prosecutions, or grand jury
investigations commenced or about to commence, in this state, is a material witness in
a prosecution pending in a court of record in this state, or in a grand jury investigation
which has commenced or is about to commence, a judge of such court may issue a
certificate under the seal of the court stating these facts and specifying the number of
days the witness will be required. Said certificate may include a recommendation that
the witness be taken into immediate custody and delivered to an officer of this state to
assure his attendance in this state. This certificate shall be presented to a judge of a
court of record in the county in which the witness is found.
If the witness is summoned to attend and testify in this state he shall be tendered the
sum of five cents [($.05)] a mile for each mile by the ordinary traveled route to and from
the court where the prosecution is pending, and two dollars [($2.00)] for each day that
he is required to travel and attend as a witness. A witness who has appeared in
accordance with the provisions of the summons shall not be required to remain within
this state a longer period of time than the period mentioned in the certificate, unless
otherwise ordered by the court. If such witness, after coming into this state, fails without
good cause to attend and testify as directed in the summons, he shall be punished in
the manner provided for the punishment of any witness who disobeys a summons
issued from a court of record in this state. Expenses as herein provided shall be paid
from the fund from which all other witnesses are usually paid.
