But he can be blamed if he failed to notify the police as soon as possible after the incident.

I've always thought that cell phones and concealed handguns make a nice pair. They don't really talk about it in the article (aside from mentioning that the police found the guy at his residence). He certainly had a responsibility to call this in (and it may turn out that he did, or that police arrived before he had a chance to) when he was free from danger.

Absolutely. In Texas, even if you shoot a guy in self-defense, you still have to let the cops know you did it. Even if it weren't compulsorary, it would be common sense. The more time went by, the harder it would be to sell your claim of self-defense.

Don't you think that he called it in? How did they know where he lived and who he was if he didn't call it in?
