texas changed its execution laws in 1923, requiring the executions be carried out on the electric chair and that they take place at the texas state penitentiary at huntsville (also known as huntsville unit). from 1928 until 1965, this was also home to the state's male death row. the first executions on the electric chair were on february 8, 1924, when charles reynolds, ewell morris, harris washington, haden cochran, and melvin johnson had their death sentences carried out. the five executions were the most carried out on a single day in the state. the state would conduct multiple executions on a single day on several other occasions, the last being on august 9, 2000. since then, the state has not executed more than one person on a single day, though there is no law prohibiting it. a total of 361 people were electrocuted in texas, with the last being joseph johnson on july 30, 1964.
