No, there was no penalty for merely attempting  to off yourself.  Those who succeeded were hanged post mortem as a warning to others that suicide was a mortal sin.

Don't desecrate your body....or we'll desecrate your body!
(the irish had a law against fighting tigers in public because that's the kind of awesome shit that irish blood gets you into, btw)
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Ok, I live in Houston and I want to be able to come in here and complain about this. Then I remember the kinds of elected officials that come from Texas. I mean, George W. Bush, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul..... we don't have a very good track record, do we? Well, at least Houston has a cool Mayor in Anise Parker.

 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
