All of those people have beat on a door in a manner that made someone think they were a home invader which was my point and since it has happened I don't think its a Damn bit of hyperbole. If you're right or convince a jury that your actions were reasonable then you're fine. If not you're in the pen.mojo84 wrote:I think the OP was talking about someone kicking and beating the door down, not knocking on the door as a cop, neighbor or stranded motorist. None of these people attck a door like home invaders. Geez!
I too live in the country and have a large window in my door. Therefore, I could easily shoot through my door and be very close to as accurate as there being no door. Let's avoid the drama and hyperbole just to make a point.
Common sense makes it obvious between a knock and beating on a door. I also bet some of the tough talkers on here comment hits the broad side of a barn from 20 feet of put in a high stress high adrenalin stuation with or without a door between them.

No pizza delivery guys, no neighbors to accidentally get hit if I did have to shoot, and no one coming to my door to sell me something, offer religious literature, or ask to have their flat tire changed at 3 A.M. Also unlikely that miscreants and troublemakers will be coming to my house at that time of morning, either. So, thanks for reinforcing my decision.
Yep out in the country you'll be shooting at a stranded motorist, neighbor, or police officer and not pizza guys.

Re: Is shooting through your front door legal in Texas
Come on! It just isn't yes or no. The best and most accurate answer has got to be "It depends". Under some limited circumstances articulated properly you might get away with shooting thru a door but you would likely be charged and tried so generally speaking no you cannot shoot thru a door.
