SMITH COUNTY, TX (KLTV) - The execution date for an East Texas
man convicted for killing his mother was set Monday for 6 p.m.
on August 13, 2015.
Tracy Beatty, of Whitehouse, was convicted for the November 2003
killing of his mother in Smith County.
During his court appearance Monday, there was noticeable amount
of extra security. There were a total of six jailers and
deputies along with two district attorney investigators.
Before appearing in court, Beatty exhausted appeals at the
local, state and Supreme Court level.
Beatty was charged with capital murder for the death of his
mother, Carolyn Click and sentenced to death. Click's
preliminary autopsy found that she had been strangled and
partially covered with nylon, then buried behind her home.
Investigators said Beatty sold Click's car and admitted to using
her credit cards as well as depleting all her assets.
While searching for Click's body, investigators said a possible
motive for the murder was revenge.

Texas death row inmate shares final words before execution--
Thursday, November 10th, 2022
A man convicted of strangling his mother and burying her body in
her own yard nearly 20 years ago was executed in Texas
Wednesday.
Tracy Beatty, 61, uttered “See you on the other side” before he
received a lethal injection of pentobarbital at the state
penitentiary in Huntsville.
The inmate was found guilty of murdering his mother, Carolyn
Click, who was just a year older than Beatty is now, after an
argument in her East Texas mobile home in November 2003.
Beatty’s lawyers had appealed his death sentence, arguing he
shouldn’t be executed due to his history of mental illness.
However, the Supreme Court shot down the appeal Wednesday
morning to stop the execution.
Beatty choked up and began sobbing when the warden asked if he
had any final words before his life was ended.
Strapped to a gurney, he could barely get the words out as his
voice broke.
“I just want to thank …,” Beatty spoke directly to his wife
watching from the viewing room behind glass. “I don’t want you
leave you, baby. See you when you get there. I love you.”
He blew a kiss to her and then offered his gratitude to fellow
death row inmates, naming several.
“I love you, brothers,” he said. “See you on the other side.”
Prosecutors said Beatty strangled his 62-year-old mom and then
buried her body beside her mobile home in Whitehouse before
blowing her money on drugs and alcohol.
The mother and son had a “volatile and combative relationship,”
prosecutors said. Click confided in a neighbor that Beatty had
assaulted her several times before her murder. She said he once
had “beaten her so severely that he had left her for dead,” the
neighbor, Lieanna Wilkerson, testified.
Beatty moved back in with Click a month before her death and she
had been excited for his return so that they could have time to
mend their relationship, Wilkerson said.
However, the pair began arguing daily and Click asked him to
move out at least twice, including just before she was killed,
according to trial testimony.
“Several times [Beatty] had said he just wanted to shut her up,
that he just wanted to choke her and shut her up,” Wilkerson
testified.
In their petition to the courts to spare his life, Beatty’s
legal team cited one expert’s opinion that the murder was
“clearly psychotic and has a complex paranoid delusional belief
system” in which he thinks correctional officers torture him
with their “menacing voices” via a device in his ear.
The Supreme Court has not barred those with serious mental
illness from the death penalty before, though it has prohibited
the fatal sentence to the intellectually disabled.
Beatty was pronounced dead at 6:39 p.m. CT, becoming the fourth
inmate to be executed in Texas this year and the 13th
nationwide.
