§9.32. Deadly force in defense of person.
(a) A person
is justified in using deadly force against another:
(1) if he would be justified in using force against the other under Section 9.3 1;
--->(I love Texas! If you are justified in using Force, then why not 'Kick it UP a notch!?!?')
(2) if a reasonable person in the actor's situation would not have retreated; and
(3) when and to the degree he reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary:
(A)
to protect himself against the other's use or attempted use of unlawful deadly force; or(b) The
requirement imposed by Subsection (a)(2) does not apply to an actor who uses force against a person who is at the time of the use of force committing an offense of
unlawful entry in the habitation of the actor--->Another thing I love about Texas! You come into a person's home unlawfully, or if the actor reasonably thinks you are doing so unlawfully, (LEO or not), and you are toast!

PS, the code is VERY long, I recommend you READ it if you live in Texas.
PPS, did you notice the link was from texas
policecentral?
PPPS, biggest part of the argument is this, if the law is on the books, then you are NOT acting unlawfully to enter my home, right? What IF I THINK it is unlawful?
Catch 22, imho.
PPPPS, I am not going to resist, I am going to had over my 10/22 and .38 and my Imbrog|io doll saying "That's All, Officer." hehehe
