“What can happen in Texas if you catch someone committing arson?”

Brought to you directly from the Concealed Handgun Laws in Teaxs....make a special note of 2A....

PC 59.42. DEADLY FORCE TO PROTECT PROPERTY. A person is
justified in using deadly force against another to protect land or tangible, movable property:
(1) if he would be justified in using force against the other under Section 9.41 ; and 60 PC s9.43. TEXAS CONCEALED HANDGUN LAWS
(2) when and to the degree he reasonably believes the deadly
force is immediately necessary:
(A) to prevent the imminent commission of arson, burglary,
robbery, aggravated robbery, theft during the nighttime, or criminal mischief during the nighttime; or
(B) to prevent the other who is fleeing immediately after committing burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, or 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.

All sorts of things. Most of them involving lead.
