The homeowner didn't shoot the guy for stealing tools from his shed. He shot the BG when he dropped the tools and advanced toward him.
A person advancing on you when you have a gun pointed at them is up to no good.

I was fixin to post the statue...but you beat me to it

no not at all.....but if you read through the statutes, they seem to allow for some fairly strong defenses to nighttime activities.

That particular section titled "Deadly Force To Protect Property" even mentions Criminal Mischief during the nighttime. Isn't that something like "rolling" a house?? I'm sure there are numerous extenuating circumstances that must be considered before using deadly force to prevent the commission of Criminal Mischief in the Nighttime, but...... I dunno?????

Texas Penal Code 9.42 is pretty clear on "night time" offenses.

good shoot.
