That was quite a gamble.

The shooting, or saying he wasn't home? Seems like the shooting was pretty justified given they were actively trying to break down his door.

At least as far as criminal law goes. However, I've heard of some pretty wacky situations where defending your home like this can result in some civil liability.

Thats why you always shoot to kill. Its cheaper in the US.

Not in Texas.

There is a difference between criminal law and civil law. Yes, you can get sued for self-defense in civil court in Texas: https://www.walkertaylorlaw.com/sued-for-self-defense-in-texas/
