“Texas says ‘a person is justified in using force against another when and to the degree the actor [that would be you] reasonably believes the force is immediately necessary to protect the actor against the other’s [that would be the punk] use or attempted use of unlawful force.’” “Yes. . .but to be clear, you have a right to fight back but if you use deadly force you have to be in fear of your life or the life of another.

In Texas, if someone tries to, or does, break in your house, it is a death sentence to the person doing that. The home owner with a gun kills the perp right there.

Yes. . .if he is in fear of his life or the life of another.

You are not expected to take a beating or physically close with the animal.

Same in PA. The law here says that is somebody is forcibly trying to break into your house, you may assume you are in deadly peril, and thus use deadly force.
