Hey, John .. my understanding of Texas law is that you are within your rights to shoot anybody stealing from you on your property...

It's not
nearly that simple.
Under certain circumstances, TX law allows the use of deadly force to prevent the loss or damage of property. However, even that much leeway is unusual in deadly force laws.
And, as pointed out, being within your rights doesn't mean that the course of action taken is wise, tactically sound, or proof from civil prosecution.
