And here is Amy Swearer's twitter thread on it. She is a Fellow at the Heritage Foundation and 2A proponent and talks about Texas statute and implication in this case.
You can read the thread of 20 tweets even if you don't have a Twitter account. Pretty good analysis from a 2A attorney - though not from Texas.

Re: TX: Lubbock potential self defense death occurs
Is it me or does it appear that the Dad (green shirt) was set up for this? Maybe not to be shot, but to record for custody battle?
Domestic disputes between parents over custody and visitation can be very dangerous when there is a lot of bitterness. From what I understand from video, the Dad was there to pick up child and mother was wanting to keep him a few hours longer than what was agreed to or ordered.
Boyfriend should not have gotten weapon. Dad should not have kept fighting with mother and boyfriend. Dad should have walked away when weapon brought out - if not sooner. Boyfriend should have never fired weapon. The biggest loser in this is the child.
I would hate to be on the grand jury to sort this one out with what we know so far. I think I would be inclined to indict for at least voluntary manslaughter at this point.
