Stop or I'll Shoot- Can you use deadly force against burglars in Texas?

Great explanation of the peculiarities of Texas law as it pertains to using lethal force to prevent thieves from fleeing with your property. Texas is the only state I’m aware of where this is permissible, so don’t try this at home if you’re not a Texan.

Warning shot: Ticket to prison? -Texas

Believe it or not firing a warning shot can get you prosecuted for assault or reckless conduct in many jurisdictions. That seems counter-intuitive of course, since we were all brought up watching TV and movie dramas where the protagonist fires a warning shot in an attempt to scare off an adversary and deescalate a potentially lethal confrontation (heck, all the “A-Team” did was fire warning shots). However, that is not the way the authorities tend to see it these days. So be warned.
