The Houston Shooting That Tests Texas Gun Laws

About this video

Colion analyzes a reported incident in northeast Houston where a homeowner shot at two car burglars attempting to break into his vehicle around 12:30 a.m., hitting one suspect, and the DA declined to press charges against the homeowner. Colion breaks down Texas Penal Code provisions that he says allow deadly force to protect property under narrow nighttime theft conditions, while cautioning viewers to consider practical and legal questions before acting. He emphasizes that while he personally hates car thieves, emotion alone shouldn’t dictate actions, and viewers must understand their state’s specific laws.

Key takeaways

• Colion reports that Texas law may justify deadly force to protect property during nighttime theft under very specific conditions, though this is a narrow exception not available in most states.
• Colion teaches that before using deadly force to protect property, individuals should ask whether it’s nighttime, whether the theft is imminent, and whether the property can be recovered any other way (calling police, retreating, etc.).
• Colion stresses that understanding local self-defense laws and having legal protection plans are critical for anyone who carries a firearm, as legal consequences follow any use of force.
