In August 2014, Brown lost a federal court appeal after arguing he should be provided $7,500 to pay for a mitigation specialist to assist him with his clemency petition. A federal district court refused, and the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the lower court's rejection. In October 2017, Brown lost another appeal when the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals denied him a new trial or new sentencing phase. In April 2022, a judge in the 351st District Court was expected to sign Brown's death warrant, who had exhausted all of his appeals. In May 2022, prosecutors and defense attorneys attempted to sway a Harris County judge to decide on Brown's death warrant. Prosecutors attempted to sway the judge to set an August 31 execution date for Brown, while his lawyers argued he had an intellectual disability and was therefore ineligible for execution. On May 20, the judge declined to sign the death warrant
