Just search for PC 9.42.....or search for Protection of Property.
Quote:
A person is justified in using deadly force against another to protect land or tangible property, moveable property: (2) when and to the degree he reasonably believes the deadly force in immediately necessary: (A) to prevent the other's immenent commission of arson, burgulary, robbery, aggravated robery, "theft during the nighttime:, or "criminal mischief during the nighttime" (B) or to prevent the other from fleeing immediately after the committing arson, burgulary, robbery, aggravated robery, "theft during the nighttime" from escaping with the property; and (3) he reasonably believes that: (A) the land or property cannot be protected or recovered by any other means; or (B) the use of force other than deadly force to protect or recover the land or property would expose the actor or another to a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury.
I will also add that if one needs this defense, one needs an attorney...quick!
I do not advocate the use of deadly force to stop someone from stealing my TV...but if he threatens my family or me....it's go time.....
YEOW! Pretty liberal shooting law, I LIKE THAT. I stand corrected. I thought that my state was pretty liberal when it comes to plugging someone.
KUDOS to Texas!
