CHAPTER 9. JUSTIFICATION EXCLUDING CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY

Subchapter B

§ 9.21.

(c) The use of deadly force is not justified under this section unless the actor reasonably believes the deadly force is specifically required by statute or unless it occurs in the lawful conduct of war. If deadly force is so justified, there is no duty to retreat before using it.

Inquiring minds wanted to know!

Trespassers will be shot, survivors will be prosecuted.

Most people don't understand the difference between a statute and a law.

No statute can override the lawful actions of a person defending himself on his own property.
