Payment in advance. Except as otherwise provided by specific statute, all fees prescribed in this chapter must be paid in advance, if demanded. If any county clerk has not received any or all of his fees which may be due him for services rendered by him in any suit or proceeding, he may have execution therefor in his own name against the party or parties from whom they are due, to be issued from the court where the action is pending, upon the order of the judge or court upon affidavit filed.
