Civil prosecution

True or false: 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.

CHL course instructor warned that even if you're justified in using deadly force on the *criminal law* side of the house, his family could still come after you with a *civil* suit. But the above came from the last page of the booklet in the CHL package.

Recent law change or something?
