No, our legislature voted it down soundly. The bill never even got close to Perry's desk.

What's the rationale for that? Here we rarely have an execution, but we do have "life is life."

None that I can see. Probably what happened was (as usual) some yahoo legislator added on a rider that nobody else wanted so the entire bill had to be voted down.

Don't know unless they feel that it won't be enforced.
