Tabler is set to be executed at 7 p.m. ET, one hour after the 6 p.m. execution of James Dennis Ford in Florida. They're set to become the nation's fourth and fifth executions this year.

Texas has executed a man convicted of killing two men as part of a 2004 dispute with his boss at a strip club.

In his final statement, Richard Tabler asked for forgiveness from his victims’ family members, some of whom reportedly witnessed his death.
