Re: Is shooting through your front door legal in Texas

It violates one of the basic rules of firearms safety: be sure of your target and what is behind and around it. A prosecutor would get that up on a white board as Exhibit A. You also need to get past the Massad Ayoob standard for the use of deadly force: Ability, Opportunity, Jeopardy, articulated so well in his book Understanding Your Right to Self-Defense, a must read:

I think the circumstances under which you would ever be justified in shooting through a door are extremely limited at best. Never say never but this about as close as you can come.
