1. I was not trying to say it was the same as something that occurred on public roads. I was merely giving an example of the difference between two state's laws.
2. Here's everything you need to know about castle doctrine (or whatever you call it) here in TX: Everyone here is armed and everyone here WILL shoot you if they find you in their home. If you want to argue legal technicalities with a TX homeowner pointing a gun at you, go right ahead.
