Do any FReepers know if the Texas ‘Castle Doctrine’ law apply in the case of business owners? I think it does, but additional input from smarter people than I would be appreciated. Thanks.
In Texas, Section 9 of the Texas Penal Code provides legal justifications for the use of force in a limited set of circumstances when a person has no duty to retreat. For example, a homeowner in his own home does not have a duty to retreat and may use deadly force to protect himself against an armed intruder. This would be the same for a business owner in his place of business and a truck driver in his own truck
