ft worth now el paso sounds like the pond scum is getting thined out one at a time. as word gets out less and less with think another mans vehicle is easy pickens
I have not read anything that proves you are wrong. In fact, compared to the potential cost a suffering a vehicle burglary, the real nightmare for the shooter begins now. Even if he is no-billed.As much as I wish it were true, I'm unconvinced that stories like these have deterred a single crime.

Odd thing in which to find joy.I love the fact the burglar was around 30 ish, but the owner who shot him was in his 50's lol Good Times
Indeed.This one could turn out bad for the shooter. While I hope it does not, Burglary of a Vehicle is not a justification for deadly force. Burglary is, and they are seperate offenses. The article DID say there was an argument, so perhaps it turned physical and the owner was defending himself.
I vote for the gun carrying home owner / car owner...

The actor's belief under Subsection (a)(2) that the deadly force was immediately necessary as described by that subdivision is presumed to be reasonable if the actor:
(1) knew or had reason to believe that the person against whom the deadly force was used:
(A) unlawfully and with force entered, or was attempting to enter unlawfully and with force, the actor's occupied habitation, vehicle, or place of business or employment;
(B) unlawfully and with force removed, or was attempting to remove unlawfully and with force, the actor from the actor's habitation, vehicle, or place of business or employment

Per the Texas Penal Code, "CHAPTER 9. JUSTIFICATION EXCLUDING CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY"
You are allowed to protect your person, family, and property with deadly force.
EDIT: Nevermind, the law protects only your "occupied vehicle." I guess it's all open to interpretation, and I don't see any Texas DA filing charges on the victim... atriot:

Burglary is without consent entering a habitation or building with intent to commit theft, assault or felony. Burglary of a motor vehicle is the same but a motor vehicle is being entered.What would the difference be between burglary and burglary of a vehicle?
