"Show me where I disagreed with people being allowed to protect property? I said that the law in Texas is not like most."

At first you said all law - it took several posters to convince you about Texas law.

Post 36-- you say a person cannot protect a home if the assailant is unarmed and not threatening --- so if an arsonist says nothing and and is unarmed, he can legally burn your house down and you can only stand and watch. You can only call 911 ?

What if 10 home invaders back a truck up to your house and tell you to stand aside, because they are going to take all your furniture ?

Tell us how you agree with people being allowed to protect property.

Ok. Now this is getting stupid. I acknowledged I was wrong about Texas law and you still want to jump on me. In most states, the law is unlike Texas law in that you cannot protect "property alone" with deadly force. There usually needs to be some other factor such as a threat or presence of a weapon.
