Ironically what this guy did is PERFECTLY legal in Texas.

Not ironic at all. Texas is a free state, at least for now.

What’s ironic about it? That’s one of the reasons I moved to Texas!

“Ironically what this guy did is PERFECTLY legal in Texas.”

Only if he can prove he was being driven at. Texas law says you can use force (physically confront) to prevent theft but you may only use deadly force if you have a reasonable fear of death or injury. While I think the facts of this case would make this man’s actions legal in Texas, I certainly wouldn’t want to try my luck in Travis or El Paso County.
