Ah, no. The other guy's rights end where my property begins (at least some
of them):

Texas Penal Code 9.42 DEADLY FORCE TO PROTECT PROPERTY

A person is justified in using deadly force against another to protect land
or tangible, movable property:
(2) when and to the degree he reasonably believes 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...

And Texas is one of the few ?the only? state to have such a liberal
policy, deadly force to protect property, In any case, the happenings
mentioned in the OP don't even come close to meeting those criteria.
