Edward Busby's execution had been on hold for nearly a week but a decision by the Supreme Court on Thursday is allowing it to move forward.
Edward Busby's execution would be the 600th carried out in Texas since the state resumed the death penalty in 1982.
A federal appeals court granted Edward Busby a temporary stay after the 53-year-old argued he's intellectually disabled. The Texas attorney general's office appealed the decision shortly after.
