Nope. This guy's going to jail. In a case like this, the grand jury will likely have no choice. The guy killed someone to protect PROPERTY. Not allowed in any state. Self-defense of property does not exist. Even in Texas. Now if it fits that wierd "criminal mischief in the nighttime" exception down there, the guy has a chance.
