Stop Executions
The U.S. Supreme granted a last-minute stay of execution to Ruben Gutierrez, who was scheduled to be put to death on July 16, 2024. It is the second time in four years he has received an 11th hour reprieve from the Court.

In the 25 years Gutierrez has spent on death row, he has consistently maintained he did not kill Ms. Harrison and has sought DNA testing of crime scene evidence to support his innocence. 

Attend Events
This month, TCADP is hosting membership meetups in Austin, Dallas and Houston, as well as an online meeting of our book group.
