They're paid for.


Texas too, in Texas if someone comes into your house uninvited you can shoot them. Its not really the legal system you'd need to worry about, tho IIRC civil suits are always a possibility.


Nope, not as long as you were justified criminally:

CIVIL PRACTICE AND REMEDIES CODE

TITLE 4. LIABILITY IN TORT

CHAPTER 83. USE OF FORCE OR DEADLY FORCE

Sec. 83.001. CIVIL 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.
