You are allowed to defend yourself with lethal force in Texas. Shooting someone running away from you in the back is not defending yourself and will get you in big trouble even in Texas. At night you can shot anyone on your property if you have reason to believe they are up to no good. There have been several unfortunate tourists that did not realize it's a very bad idea to go onto private property in Texas at night.
