Interesting law in Texas. You cannot use deadly force to protect your vehicle in the daytime, but you can at night.
If someone’s breaking into your vehicle in the nighttime, the law becomes much more clear. Texas statutes say that you can, if you act reasonably, use deadly force against someone committing a theft during the nighttime.

I was joking about the engine block. Shooting out tires = bad, bad idea. Now you’ve just taken away the thieves’ mode of transport. This forces their hand, and now you’ve escalated the situation.
