The list of people executed by the U.S. state of Texas, with the exception of 1819-1849, is divided into periods of ten years. Since 1819, 1,286 individuals (all but nine of whom have been men) have been executed in Texas as of November 18, 2015. Between 1819 and 1923, 390 people were executed by hanging in the county where the trial took place.〔(The Espy File: 1608–2002 ). ''Death Penalty Information Center''.

From 1924 to 1964, 361 people were executed in this way.〔(List of Electrocuted Offenders ). ''Texas Department of Criminal Justice''.

Georgia'', executions were resumed following new capital punishment laws passed by the State of Texas (and upheld in ''Gregg v. Georgia'', which also included a companion case from Texas), among them changing the method of execution to lethal injection. Since 1982 and as of November 18, 2015, 531 individuals (all of whom were convicted of murder) have been executed by lethal injection at the Huntsville Unit.〔(List of Executed Offenders ).
