(REPORT) — Texas on Tuesday sued the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for what it says is an “unreasonable delay” in deciding whether to allow the delivery of execution drugs from India. The lawsuit comes more than 17 months after the FDA seized 1,000 vials of sodium thiopental at a Houston airport.
