Texas did have a law that you could use deadly force to protect your house and property while on your property. Not sure if that has change in recent years.You gotta be a special kind of A Hole to attack a dog unprovoked...and especially as a means of retribution for an argument.
The problem, however, is that most states regard dogs as property and most states don't allow deadly force to protect property...but maybe Texas does??
That said, if I were on the jury, I'd have a hard time convicting the dude for protecting his dog.
Years ago there was an incident in Texas of a retired judge shooting two guys in the back for robbing his neighbors house. I believe it fell under that law and he was acquitted. But him being a judge probably helped.
