Since the reinstatement of capital punishment in 1976, the State of Texas has executed more inmates than any other state in the United States. The
Texas Department of Criminal Justice maintains a
website to keep the public informed about executions in the state of Texas. The site provides background information on
death row inmates, their crimes, and
execution dates. The site also provides information on
executions that have been carried out, and if available even provides the
last words of executed inmates.
