Well.......

In my opinion, I did know who he was.

Article 14.01(a) of the Code of Criminal Procedure permits private citizens to make arrests only if the offense is classed as a felony or as an offense against the public peace
Would you not agree that breaking and entering/neighborhood burglary (plus at night in Texas) is an offense that is against the public peace?

Arrest by a Non-LEO Citizen is perfectly legal. Every Citizen has the right to arrest, without warrant, a person who is observed committing an offense.

Day or night, makes no difference. The gun aspect may have some repercussions and may not.

However, Theft under the cover of darkness in Texas is grounds for use of deadly force. I applaud his restraint, but I believe I would have shot.

With that being said,.....the question is how many citizens are willing/able to accomplish this?
