This guy is no flight risk and is a first time offender I assume. Capital murder suspect in Houston was release on $100 bail per a presentation by my local PD that I attended late last year. Police removed the entire surveillance recording system leaving the store with no ability to have a record of any subsequent crimes. They are definitely vulnerable to retaliatory attacks.

A man brandishing a knife, trashed a convenience store ( breaking glass, ripping cash register off counter) at family owned gas station at 11 pm. The clerk followed the man out of the store with a gun and shot the vandal through the car window, while the vandal was sitting in his car.

I guess it will hinge on whether the vandal was stealing something.

Never a good idea in Austin.
