Taylor Parker, the youngest woman on Texas's execution row, remains on death row at the Patrick L. O'Daniel Unit in Gatesville after being convicted of capital murder in 2022. She was sentenced to death in November 2022 for the killing of 21-year-old Reagan Simmons-Hancock and the abduction of her unborn baby.
Parker, now 33, does not currently have an execution date as her case is still moving through the post-conviction process. Her appeals have so far failed to overturn her conviction or death sentence, with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals maintaining her crime, conviction, and sentence.
The US Supreme Court has declared it would not consider her case, citing that she was not given a fair trial. Parker has exhausted her direct appeals, but no execution date can be set until her habeas corpus review is complete, a process that can take years.
