Texas death penalty

The Texas death penalty allows for the execution of individuals convicted of certain severe crimes, primarily capital murder. The process involves a thorough legal procedure, including a trial, potential appeals, and review by higher courts. The decision to impose death is based on evidence, legal standards, and jury recommendations. Texas is known for carrying out the most executions in the United States, but the use of the death penalty remains controversial, with debates over moral, legal, and ethical considerations concerning justice, deterrence, and potential wrongful convictions.
