It’s a defense of prosecution in Texas. You can kill someone to prevent them from stealing

“It’s a defense of prosecution in Texas. You can kill someone to prevent them from stealing”

You are correct. If the criminal was attempting to flee with the car or pulled a gun it is a good shoot.

Careful.. a lot if nuance and conditions in TX for use of deadly force in defense of property. Go read carefully.

No it's not. The theft already occurred, the guy tracked him down with a tracker on the truck. There was no imminent theft or immediate fleeing. 9.42 isn't going to apply to this case, his only hope is the jury siding with him.
