If someone makes a non-violent, polite request, you can politely decline, and that's the end of it.

If someone threatens you with violence, the best response is an overwhelming counter-attack that leaves them unable to hurt you.

From a legal perspective, I think it's open and shut in Texas.
The actor's belief under Subsection (a)(2) that the deadly force was immediately necessary as described by that subdivision is presumed to be reasonable if the actor knew or had reason to believe that the person against whom the deadly force was used unlawfully and with force entered, or was attempting to enter unlawfully and with force, the actor's occupied habitation, vehicle, or place of business or employment
