I'm pretty sure you can shoot someone in Texas to keep them from running away with your property. Try that in TN and you'll be going to a PMITA prison.

Don't know TX law but better not shoot 'em in the back in TN, as the OP wrote.

It's hard to argue self defense, which is the law regarding shooting, when the holes are in the guys back........ unless of course those are exit wounds!

In Texas you can use deadly force to protect property TX Penal code Sections 9.41 & 9.42

Hell in TX you can even use deadly force to protect a third persons property (Section 9.43) Remember Joe Horn?

So Yes, I think in TX you can shoot them in the back if it is the only way to recover your property. 9.42.(2)(

Am I the only one that thinks the article was a fake in the first place? When is the last time you saw an article in the paper with that much of a direct quote? And it wasn't particularly well written in the first place. Thought it does make for some interesting debate on the issue.

I had suspicion about it also.

Considering that a search of the Houston Herald website yields no results for any story even vaguely matching report and the tone of the article yeah, I'm calling BS on the article itself, BUT totally believable for Texas.

I believe the take-away message here is that you don't steal someones stuff in TX.

LOL...Oops, I admit I didn't read the article before my post, I just addressing the issue of using deadly force to protect property in TX.

I do think the article is a bit fishy, especially since it doesn't contain a link to the article.
