This is a debateable question -but- the main reason is the almost constant flood of appeals of the death sentence that keep coming, and coming, and coming, and coming, and coming, and........ (well, you get the idea). They are funded by groups whose purpose is to thwart the death penalty for various, ostensibly "humanitarian" reasons.

Why is the death chamber of Texas located in Huntsville Texas and not for example in Dallas Texas or Houston Texas?
It could easily be said that incarceration, prisons and even executions is big business in Texas (and elseware in the United States) and the placement of these facilities is political. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice will carry out their duties wherever, whenever, however and for any reason that the legislature tells them to. The Texas Death Row population is on the decline and sentencing trends are increasingly against the death penalty. The distance to Huntsville from Houston is only 69.2 miles which hardly takes executions out of the public's reach for either support or condemnation. The public media is also available on both sides of the execution issue.
