You need to re-read the TX Castle Doctrine. It allows you to use deadly force to protect NEIGHBORS property as well as your own. God Bless Texas.
I am well aware of the "castle doctrine". That's why I said he should be thankful for living in TX (because of that law), and said "generally". There are exceptions by statute to common law rules, as there obviously is in the case of Texas. And yes there are exceptions for someone in their own house, time of day, etc.
(although I will add that Texas has taken the Castle Doctrine and made it into more of a Kingdom Doctrine.)
