No, he couldn't. Read the actual law. That helps.

Texas Penal Code - PENAL § 9.42 | FindLaw

A person is justified in using deadly force against another to protect land or tangible, movable property:

(1) if he would be justified in using force against the other under Section 9.41;  and

(2) when and to the degree he reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary:

(A) to prevent the other's imminent commission of arson, burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, theft during the nighttime, or criminal mischief during the nighttime;  or

(B) to prevent the other who is fleeing immediately after committing burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, or theft during the nighttime from escaping with the property;  and

(3) he reasonably believes that:

(A) the land or property cannot be protected or recovered by any other means;  or

(B) the use of force other than deadly force to protect or recover the land or property would expose the actor or another to a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury.

Uhm, 3a and 3b are incredibly broad. It would not be difficult for a gas station owner to argue that simply walking outside and confronting four vandals is both not likely to get them to stop, and that it would also endanger his life. There was recently a case in Texas where a store owner shot and killed a guy with his hand in the tip jar and he got off for that too. "Cannot be protected or recovered by any other means" does not include calling the police and hoping they get there in time.

Ok but in TX, you can kill if they steal your property.

Robbing them and then letting them go, probably not so much.

The article doesn't mention whether it happened at night, either. If it was during the daytime the cop is probably fucked.

I don't see how they can print "he lied about being robbed at gunpoint." He literally was robbed at gunpoint. What actions he took that precipitated that robbery he lied about. Fucking unreal.

The dude was not robbed. He made a deal for cash. Either you pay for the damages or we call the cops. Simple exchange upon the understanding that he would get to slide without the police fucking up his good time.

also I hear that the gun was pulled because he was being a beligerant ass hole.

Plus the dude is a fucking douche. My wife called it right when he was making that initial claim of robbery at gun point. She said, lol this dude is lying like a mo-fo. He made Americans look like ass in the wolds eye, even more so than what they thought before.

He will be fine. He will land some cush job as a coach in some college somewhere where he gets to look at young chicks asses.

So, money was given at gunpoint. Yes it was a "simple exchange" at gunpoint.

Ok bro.

Having a gun pointed at you is a serious thing especially if it is in a shit country where everyone is corrupt
