"In the U.S., as of September 2011, 273 people including 17 death row inmates, have been exonerated by use of DNA tests. The increasing use of DNA testing to help confirm the innocence or guilt in capital cases is one among many reforms that will help ensure that innocent people are not sentenced to death. "

To cover their asses, judges and prosecutors are very reluctant to allow DNA testing of executed prisoners, And based on the stats above it doesn't take a stretch to realize that innocents have been executed and Texas would be the most likely place for that to occur.
