A Texas man on death row, Richard Lee Tabler, uttered two desperate last words just moments before being executed by lethal injection.

Since Texas reinstated capital punishment and adopted lethal injection as its means of execution in 1977, the state has put 592 people to death, according to online records. Charlie Brooks was that first in that span. He was executed on Dec. 7, 1982 for the kidnap/murder of a Fort Worth auto mechanic.

Richard Tabler, who was convicted of killing two men in 2004, is scheduled to be put to death in Huntsville on Thursday.
