It is silly they try to claim a Texas Governor has the power to stop the executions. By himself, he is not able.

Only the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles has that power, provided the Governor then approves it. Alone, he can only postpone it once for 30 days.

There was similar nonsense in the last execution thread I posted.
