Hello Matt,

> Here is the letter of the law :

This isn't the vocabulary used in the "Texas Law". You should look that up 
'and' the applicable legislature that supports it.  This posting doesn't 
provide anything more than an elementary explanation in vernacular that

cover protection of property, use of force for protection of family, 
necessity and proportionality -- none of that. There is a great deal more to 
the use of force than what you posted.  This is a good start Matt -- but 
there is a great deal more to the use of force than this.
