Cary Kerr, 46, was put to death by lethal injection for the 2001 sexual assault and strangling of Pamela Horton.
The new drug, pentobarbital, replaced sodium thiopental in Texas' three-drug execution protocol.
The change was necessary because Hospira Inc. of Illinois announced in January it would stop making the sodium thiopental after Italy objected to Hospira manufacturing an execution drug in that country. That caused a shortage of the drug throughout the United States.
Ohio and Oklahoma have already switched to use of pentobarbital in executions.
Another Texas inmate, Cleve Foster, had been scheduled to be the first person in the state executed using the new drug last month. But Foster received a temporary stay of execution from the U.S. Supreme Court over concerns his state-appointed lawyers were ineffective.
Kerr was pronounced dead at 6:19 p.m. on Tuesday, said Michelle Lyons, a spokeswoman for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

It’s about time we got back on track in Texas; all the talk of the new lethal ****tail is making Texans look weak! Heck I don’t know why we don’t still use the rope we could give it to the victims’ families like we do the flag for veterans family. OR use it again and again, why spend so much on scumb?

Down here in Texas, if you kill someone, we kill you back.

I agree, but sitting in jail for years makes no sense to me. It's a waste of money feeding a piece of #$%$# for all those years, not to mention it's taking up room where we could put another scumbag.
