Perhaps. But even in daylight, if one tried to stop a theft, it would be
difficult to not incur the threat of bodily injury.
I'm at home, on my ranch, on a Saturday afternoon. I look out my window,
and two guys are stealing tools/cattle/tractor/truck/Jeep. I want to
keep this stuff. I am going to grab a gun and a cell phone (most likely
my short shotgun & my carry pistol) and I'm going outside to stop them.
I call the sheriff first on the cell and leave the line open.
I appear and ask them to cease and disist.
If they hit the deck and scream "don't shoot". Correct response.
If they run, empty handed. Correct response.
If they run, with goods, I persue, armed.
If they approach me. Wrong response.
If they continue loading cattle. Wrong response if they enter the
vehicle.
If they start the tractor's engine. Wrong response.
The very act of stopping them incurs the risk of bodily injury.
The nighttime scenario simply makes is harder to judge what they might
or might not be doing, enabling leeway in the response.

If you shoot and kill them in daylight in these scenarios, I believe you
will be prosecuted, even in Texas.

No. The vehicle is regarded as a deadly weapon in Texas.
A running tractor is especially bad, as a house can't protect you from
it.

Re: Jeep Booby Traps Help
Well, yes, if they were attempting to run you over or crash into your
house, but if they were just fleeing, I just can't see it. I still
think you would have to convince a jury that you were being attacked
unless the evidence at the scene showed the cops that you were under attack.

Re: Jeep Booby Traps Help
As much as I agree with your original reaction- (I would've been out
there with the Sig P220 and Mossberg...) It's too late. They got
what they wanted and probably won't be back. Remember- you should not
even bother locking a soft top Jeep and NEVER leave anything in it
that you care about.

They can't flee if I'm standing in their escape path.
This kind of thing is reported on all the time. The last time I heard on
was in the San Antonio paper. No charges. Do a google.
Especially If the shooter was a CHL holder. Of course it's up to the LEO
onscene to determine what happened.
The scenarios are innumerable and never happen as expected.
The bottom line is telling the LEO "I was in fear of my life".
If the burgler is face down with holes in his back (and bigger ones in
front) and empty handed, you are up the creek.
The CHL instructor told us to keep pulling the trigger until the fear
has left our bodies.
