“Hurry up now, because my husband’s fixing to shoot him,”
...lol! I love Texas!

If this were in the NE the wife would be calling 911 to report her husband was holding an illegal weapon on a person who had run into a bit of bad luck and needs a 2nd chance.
I'd go around the block a few times, to give the husband time.

Well, if the wife says her husband is fixing to shoot the burglar, and the burglar says the same thing.....
Did the husband shoot him? Be a dang shame if the wife and burglar were wrong.
There are some key items left out of the story.
The owner lives with his wife, their newborn, and his wife’s son on a piece of land out in the boonies. No cops or neighbors close by.
The property owner was on the news (Dallas station) last night and said when the moron got into his car; the homeowner got into his truck and blocked any chance he had to get away. During that time he also had his 12 year-old stepson train a shotgun on the intruder’s car and said, “If he gets out to run, shoot him.”
The other big piece of info is the owner asked the intruder what his intentions were when he was in the house, and the intruder replied something along the line of “bad things.” Crazy or not, if someone said something like that to me late I night, he would be, if not dead, in a serious world of pain and discomfort. The owner and son showed remarkable restraint and composure.
And, I'd have had me a new truck after he forfeited his for trespassing in it "in the night-time"...
No, actually it was your very lucky day. Your head wasn't blown off from a shotgun blast.
