There is no "stand your ground" in Texas. There is "Castle Doctrine" meaning, don't shoot till they are inside the house, or, after you shoot them drag the body inside.
There have been many cases in Texas of LEO's and others being shot during no-knock raids and in most cases the shooter is eventually exonerated. Of course, in most cases that make news, the shooter is white, so, I guess we'll see how this one turns out.
