Truth finally sets Texas inmate free (Houston Chronicle, 09 October 2011)

Yet, to hear the Texas inmates tell it, "Amazing Grace" has probably done considerably more for their self-esteem than any therapeutic exercises.

All unrepresented Texas inmates will eventually receive lawyers, often from the resource center itself.

He was the 21st Texas inmate to be executed since the state resumed the death penalty in 1982.

The United States Supreme Court granted a stay of execution to a Texas inmate after his lawyers argued that he was mentally retarded.

He was the fourth Texas inmate executed by lethal injection this year and the 24th since Texas resumed executions in 1982.

Shot Through the Heart Mr. Smith was the third Texas inmate executed this year and 36th since the state resumed capital punishment in 1983.

In the same order, he reluctantly gave an extra month to three other Texas inmates.

One Texas inmate, Joe Gonzales, spent just 252 days on death row before being executed.

He also ruled that Texas inmates faced an unacceptable threat of violence, living in "a fear that is incomprehensible to most of the state's free-world citizens."
