What specific reasons did the lawyers for Jamaal Howard provide in their motion to the Court of Criminal Appeals in Texas to halt his scheduled lethal injection?

Howard's attorneys filed a motion seeking a stay of execution based on several arguments. First, they cited a failed execution in Tennessee involving Christa Pike, where Pike survived two doses of pentobarbital. Howard's lawyers argued that Texas faces a similar risk because their supply of pentobarbital may be degraded and is "far past the original beyond-use dates" allowed by the pharmacopeia. Additionally, the attorneys pressed an intellectual-disability claim, which the state has already rejected, and requested information regarding the lethal dose of pentobarbital the Texas Department of Criminal Justice planned to use.
