The castle doctrine cleans up the nomenclature concerning one’s right to not retreat in one’s “castle” and a reduction in the likelihood of successful after the fact civil court actions. That is really all it does.
Texas Penal Code 9.41, 2 & 3 are still the governing law in Texas and understanding the provisions there in are far more important than the castle doctrine.
If you violate TPC 9.41, 2 & 3 then the castle doctrine means next to nothing.
This is my humble understanding of the law and has been reinforced by my discussions with LEO and civilian instructors.
PS: No matter how much you want to do not talk to the Police without a lawyer. I like most here do not have one on speed dial, but you do have a right to one and your best bet is to get your spouse or a friend to find you one quick.
That’s what I thought.......... I can shoot ya and get no billed by a grand jury and you can’t sue me ......
Good !
Not that I’d ever shoot ya .......(you seem to be trying to blow yerself up all the time anyway :o)
THANKS
Stay safe !
