let's see the guy in Houston when this law was first implemented, saw two guys breaking into his neighbor's house in broad daylight, and he blasted their ass, no chargers.


He actually saw them carry off schit which means he used force to stop a burglary, not simple trespassing.

According to tx law, you can't do that in the daytime.


That’s not true. That’s why the statute includes the word “or” right after the section where it talks about nighttime.
