Basically, what does TX law say about use of deadly force against an unarmed but dangerous violent trespasser that refused to leave?

I don't know about Texas, but most states allow all non-lethal force needed to expel a reluctant-to-leave trespasser, but not lethal. Of course this situation went beyond trespass when the trespasser got right into the armed man's face after told to back off. He also threatened to take his gun from him, which is a verbal threat combined with aggressive body language up in his face. Seems like a good shoot, though tragic all around.
