I got a debate going on with a friend.
In Texas, can you use deadly (lethal) force to protect your property? That is, can you shoot to kill if someone is breaking into your vehicle in your drive way, or walking out of your house with a TV? If you have any links that can reference actual laws or case laws, it would be needed.
I seem to remember in law class, that lethal force could only be used to protect your own life when there is reasonable concern of danger. I didnt think there was a "castle doctrine" in Texas similar to Florida???
Thanks for the help
