Anti-death penalty group wants probe of San Antonio company that made Texas' execution drug
Death penalty opponents are calling for a federal investigation of a San Antonio-based compounding pharmacy that spent years secretly supplying Texas with the drug its prisons use to execute prisoners, according to a recent NPR investigation. Citing documents from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), NPR reported Wednesday that San Antonio's Rite-Away Pharmacy and Medical Supply provided the sedative pentobarbital to the state from 2019 through at least 2023. The state and Rite-Away maintained that supply relationship even though the Texas State Board of Pharmacy found that the pharmacy violated more than a dozen rules over the past decade, including some related to sterile drug preparation, according to NPR.
