Phrased somewhat differently which directly goes to your question is this: is your dog private property?I am a CHL holder and am unclear whether or not I can defend my dog from an attacker. Thanks in advance.
I replied to your other thread on same question.
Don't do it

I am not an attorney, but from a layman's point of view, if you can "at night" use deadly force to protect your private property from being confiscated, then i would think the answer would be yes. Not sure. Good question though.
1: I moved this to a more appropriate forum because it didn't belong in the local section.
2: Everybody needs to remain calm and be polite. Everybody. (Did you hear the "or else"? If you didn't, there it is.)
3: Partial answers to your questions are here: Texas Penal Code - Section 9.41. Protection Of One's Own Property - Texas Attorney Resources - Texas Laws Texas Penal Code - Section 9.42. Deadly Force To Protect Property - Texas Attorney Resources - Texas Laws Read it and understand it, it's a start. If this doesn't answer your question, you may want to shell out a couple hundred dollars for a lawyer to research it and answer it for you.
