List of people executed in Texas, 1960–1964

The following is a list of people executed by the U.S. state of Texas between 1960 and 1964. During this period 29 people were executed by electrocution at the Huntsville Unit in Texas.[1][2]

Joseph Johnson became the last person in Texas to be executed by the electric chair on July 30, 1964.[3] In addition, James Echols became the last person in Texas to be executed for a crime other than murder (for participating in a gang rape, on May 7, 1964).[4] It would be 18 years before the next execution took place in Texas; all subsequent executions have been for murder. Echols was also the last juvenile offender to be executed in the United States prior to Furman v. Georgia. No other juvenile offenders would be executed in the United States until Charles Rumbaugh in 1985.
