Again, the guy fucked himself when he told the 911 operator that he intended to kill them. When he said that, he was in no danger. Making that statement also shows that, whether he was ever in danger would not be a deciding factor in the decision to kill them.
Essentially, when he said he was going to kill them, he had absolutely no reason to conclude that he would have to use deadly force...

Texas statute explicitly allows deadly force to be used to stop a felony in progress or to recover property. We take a pretty dim view of burglary here.

I'm not familiar with Texas law. Could you provide a link to the pertinent chapter of the law which states that?
