I think you have to go on what info the Dad had at the moment. As far as he knew it was a break in and I think Tejas has the Castle Doctrine. He may walk but they get the daughter on some sort of manslaughter type charge.



A break in where the intruder is in bed with the daughter and the daughter invited him in? Don't think so. I just can't see where any of the self defense laws can support the actions of the father. No threats to ANYBODY in the house but he shoots the kid. Not seeing how this is self defense in any way.
