@sarah_eckhardt When do you expect a hearing on the bill to abolish the death penalty? When there is a hearing it will be first ever hearing in the senate on a bill to completely abolish the death penalty in Texas.

@RepHaroldDutton has filed bills to abolish the death penalty and to end the death penalty in law of parties cases. Years ago, he was the first legislator to file a bill to abolish the death penalty and has filed it every session since. We are grateful for his leadership.#txlege

Who will file a bill to enact a moratorium? One way is to amend 43.141, the section on when execution dates can be set. @leachfortexas @moodyforelpaso 'My trust in the system is shaky':Texas Republican says he would support moratorium on death penalty https://t.co/x3tNlyN0HI
