Texecution (Texecuted)

There are legal executions of criminals in Texas. Some people have used the term “Texecution” (“Texas” + “execution”) or “Texecuted” (“Texas” + “executed”). The term is often capitalized—like “Texas”—but also appears without capitalization. “Texecution” dates from about 1997.
