I believe you're referring to:

Yes, exactly right. A pet dog or car is a domestic animal and we are legally allowed to kill a dog or coyote attacking them.

Re: CHL use in self defense against a dog?

Can't look it up and cite from on my phone, but there also a Texas law that explicitly states a dog or coyote can be killed for going after your animals/livestock. A pet dog qualifies as something you can protect.

As far as discharging within city limits, the statute on NECESSITY applies as your affirmative defense.
