That does not exempt you from a Civil judgement being filed against you.
Like stated above. The wise decision would be to observe and gather as much info as you can to relay to the LEO.
Actually, it does exempt you.

Code: Select all

CPRC g 83.001. ClVlL IMMUNITY. A defendant who uses force or
deadly force that is justified under Chapter 9, Penal Code, is immune
from civil liability for personal injury or death that results from the
defendant's use of force or deadly force, as applicable.
Basically, if you are no-billed by a GJ, you can not be held civially liable.

Sorry, didn't mean to be a forum necromancer. Just reading through all of these threads for the lessons learned, and couldn't let this hang ;)
