Texas Penal Code 9.42 DEADLY FORCE TO PROTECT PROPERTY
A person is justified in jusing deadly force against another to
protect land or tangible, movable property:
(1) if he would be justified in using force against another (to
prevent damage or to recover his own property); and
(2) when and to the degree he reasonably believe the deadly force is
immediately necessary:
(A) to prevent the other's imminent commission of arson, burglary,
robbery, aggravated robbery, theft during the nighttime, or CRIMINAL
MISCHIEF DURING THE NIGHTTIME (emphasis added);

What does this have to do with someone toilet papering a house?

Ah, okay. A little context: Vandalism of any kind (i.e., toilet-papering a
house, up-rooting mailboxes, graffiti, etc.) has been held in this state to
be "criminal mischief during the nighttime and subjects the perpetrator to
the application of deadly force.

Do you want to prove it? Do you feel lucky?
