Since 1819, 1,339 people (all but nine of whom have been men) have been executed in Texas as of 11 October 2023. Between 1819 and 1923, 390 people were executed by hanging in the county where the trial took place.
During the civil war, Three confederate deserters and a man convicted of attempted rape were executed by firing squad. The law was changed in 1923 requiring executions to be carried out in the electric chair at the Huntsville Unit in Huntsville, Texas.
Between 1924 and 1964, a total of 361 individuals were put to death via the electric chair. After an 18-year hiatus, the state of Texas passed new capital punishment laws, which included a companion case from Texas, and changed the method of execution to lethal injection. As a result, executions resumed.
From 1982 until October 11, 2023, a total of 584 individuals who were found guilty of murder met their fate through lethal injection at the Huntsville Unit.
