This armed citizens blog made an interesting point about Texas Supreme Court versus statute.

I have no idea if true
http://ccwvslaw.org/item/900

“For example, a Texas statute allows you to shoot a non-threatening sneak thief stealing something from your property after dark. But Texas judges have consistently refused to instruct juries about this statute, resulting in criminal convictions for doing just that. And judges’ refusals have been consistently upheld by the Texas Supreme Court”

Isn’t it about time to get the USSC involved? That is patent corruption.
