That must be a new law. When I lived in Austin, I was being repeatedly burglarized. The police would take reports and do nothing. I called them and asked if I could shoot the thief. They told me I could only shoot him if he was threatening me.

If he was running away from me with my TV over his head, I couldn't legally shoot him. If he was running toward me with my TV over his head, I could shoot him.

I asked if I could set up a booby trap with a shotgun. No dice.

I got a German shepard. Problem solved!
