HOUSTON (AP) — Next month’s scheduled execution of a Texas death row inmate, whose attorneys say gouged out both of his eyes — each a separate incident — because of severe mental illness, was delayed by a judge on Tuesday.

The execution of Andre Thomas has been delayed after a judge withdrew the order following requests from his attorneys for additional time to prepare for a competency hearing.

Andre Thomas was sentenced for the 2014 killing of his estranged wife, their 4-year-old son and her 13-month-old daughter.
