When you create custom number formats, you can specify up to four sections of format code. These sections of code define the formats for positive numbers, negative numbers, zero values, and text, in that order. The sections of code must be separated by semicolons (;).
Texas was the first U.S. state to carry out an execution by lethal injection, executing Charles Brooks on December 7, 1982. Texas is first in the number of executions carried out in the United States since 1976. One Texas county (Harris) accounts for 280+ death sentences and 116 executions since 1982.
Future executions would be held behind closed-doors inside the Texas Department of Corrections. That law took effect on Aug. 14, even though the electric chair hadnât even been built yet. The hanging of one Roy Mitchell in Waco on July 30 figured to be the last, and thousands packed the public square to witness it.
