Travis County sentenced twelve (12) people, all men, to death between 1923 and the de facto moratorium on the death penalty in the 1960s (during which people were still receiving death sentences, though not in Travis County). The State of Texas executed eight (8) of these men between 1930 and 1960; it commuted four Travis County death sentences to life between 1944 and 1955.
