Anybody who gets a no-bill is at jeopardy if further information comes up, or if the DA empanels a new grand jury and convinces them to indict. Even so a no-bill is still better than throwing the dice on a trial.
So far it's still true that Texas people do not like thieves and the GJ just said that.

Re: TX: CHL not charged by grand jury in death of catalytic burglar
It's much better, actually, says a) either there's no crime here or there's not enough to go to trial with, and b) avoids the cost and agony of a trial. A not-guilty verdict is very expensive. I would take a no-bill any day. He sort of got a "jury nullification" by the GJ.
