first offense, left cheek, left cheek only.
In Texas you can shoot an absconding criminal in the back, as they are running away, if you cannot stop them from stealing your stuff* otherwise.
So if the criminal is on a little old people scooter and you can easily run him down, no.
But if the criminal is a young strapping lad, and you have a sore toe, then fire away.
*You can also shoot people stealing other people’s stuff, too!
Open season just be sure to hit Your target, Anterior or Posterior;)
