Now according to some of the posters in this thread, following the law in Texas is an act of moral turpitude. However, I will submit to you that whether the laws of Texas appeal to your sense of morallity, or not, they certainly help to deter thievery.

After reading that excerpt, it seems pretty clear that if I see somebody stealing my hubcaps off of my car, it, I can shoot him in the back with my 12 gauge, and take them back.
The legislature that passed that bill gave me permission to kill a guy for stealing my 5 year old DVD player, and take no responsibility for it. It's his own fault, after all, he is a thief, and deserves to die, apparently. Otherwise, why would I have the right to kill him bound clearly into law?
That doesn't qualify as moral turpitude, that is a sin of the highest order. That's just one step short of stoning adulterous wives, IMO.
