The Texas bishops have called for a stay of execution for Robert Roberson, urging the public to engage in 24 hours of prayer as his execution date approaches. The bishops expressed their belief that "the justice system has failed in this case," yet they hold hope that "Robert’s life can be saved."

Acknowledgment was given to members of the Texas House Criminal Jurisprudence Committee for their efforts. The bishops specifically thanked Joe Moody, Jeff Leach, Brian Harrison, and Lacey Hull for their involvement.
