Well I guess we need to define 'Murder' and 'Capital Murder' charges in Texas. Because Texas makes it very clear and woe to those proven guilty of either.

Capital murder means capital punishment, right? Since Meechael was underage, he's not eligible.
It says that a person commits murder if:
(2) intends to cause serious bodily injury and commits an act clearly dangerous to human life that causes the death of an individual;
So stabbing or beating someone over and over...even if he just intended to hurt really bad...would still be murder.
