Texas was one of nine states to carry out executions to date in 2024, putting five men to death. Three other individuals received stays of execution from state or federal courts, including Robert Roberson, who received a last-minute reprieve from the Supreme Court of Texas. Lawmakers have issued another subpoena for Roberson’s testimony at a committee hearing on December 20, 2024.
