Just so we are clear;

Texas self-defense laws are primarily found in Chapter 9 of the Texas Penal Code (Justification Excluding Criminal Responsibility), specifically Sections 9.31 and 9.32. Texas has strong protections often referred to as the Castle Doctrine (stronger inside your home, vehicle, or workplace) and Stand Your Ground (no duty to retreat in lawful places).
Key Principles
●Reasonable Belief: You must reasonably believe the force is immediately necessary to protect against unlawful force (or deadly force). This is judged from the perspective of a reasonable person in the same situation.
●Proportionality: The force you use must match the threat. Non-deadly force for non-deadly threats; deadly force only when justified.
●No Duty to Retreat (Stand Your Ground): If you have a legal right to be where you are, did not provoke the confrontation, and are not engaged in criminal activity (beyond minor traffic violations), you do not have to retreat before using force or deadly force. A jury cannot consider failure to retreat against you.
●Presumption of Reasonableness: In certain situations (especially under Castle Doctrine), your belief that force was necessary is presumed reasonable by the court if specific conditions are met.
●Non-Deadly Force (Texas Penal Code § 9.31)
You are justified in using force (but not deadly force) when and to the degree you reasonably believe it is immediately necessary to protect yourself against another's use or attempted use of unlawful force.
●Presumption applies (your belief is presumed reasonable) if:
The other person was unlawfully and forcefully entering (or trying to enter) your occupied home, vehicle, or place of business/employment.
They were forcefully removing (or trying to remove) you from one of those places.
They were committing or attempting aggravated kidnapping, murder, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, robbery, or aggravated robbery.
You did not provoke them and were not otherwise engaged in criminal activity.
Force is NOT justified in response to verbal provocation alone, if you consented to the force, in most cases resisting a known police arrest/search (with limited exceptions), or if you provoked the encounter without clearly trying to abandon it.
●Deadly Force (Texas Penal Code § 9.32)
Deadly force is justified only if:
You would be justified in using non-deadly force under § 9.31, and
■You reasonably believe deadly force is immediately necessary:
To protect against the other's use or attempted use of unlawful deadly force, or
To prevent the other's imminent commission of aggravated kidnapping, murder, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, robbery, or aggravated robbery.
Strong presumption of reasonableness applies under the same conditions as above (unlawful forceful entry into your occupied habitation/vehicle/workplace, etc.).
No duty to retreat applies under the same Stand Your Ground conditions.
Definition of deadly force: Force that is intended or known to cause, or in the manner used is capable of causing, death or serious bodily injury.
Castle Doctrine Highlights
Your "castle" includes your occupied habitation (home), vehicle, and place of business/employment. The law provides strong protections and a presumption favoring you when someone is forcefully intruding.
Defense of Third Persons (§ 9.33)
You can use force or deadly force to protect someone else if, under the circumstances as you reasonably believe them to be, you would be justified in using it to protect yourself, and you believe your intervention is immediately necessary.
Important Limitations and Notes
Self-defense is an affirmative defense — you admit the act but claim it was legally justified. It can lead to dismissal or acquittal if proven.
You cannot claim self-defense if you were the initial aggressor (unless you clearly tried to withdraw).
Weapons laws still apply (e.g., carrying restrictions).

@papeppers @Exploreeeeeeee @goldencrab @Crazymoments01 Wow... Please tell me how it's acceptable to ignore people's space in all cases here?
Entitlement from both people could be said if you really wanted to discuss it 😮‍💨

[Shayna Simmons @BlessedLilly96]

@Kay4313 @Crazymoments01 There was no kicking. He was pushing against him though...

If you consider that kicking though? I wonder what you think a punch looks like? 🤣

[Shayna Simmons @BlessedLilly96]

@papeppers @Exploreeeeeeee @goldencrab @Crazymoments01 So it's okay to make other people uncomfortable as long as you are comfortable? 🤔 Entitlement much for both parties?

[Shayna Simmons @BlessedLilly96]

@simplybreeluv @goldencrab @Crazymoments01 I'm watching the same video clipped here and reading body language...

In simple terms:
I'm assuming just like anyone else is in the comments 🙃

[Shayna Simmons @BlessedLilly96]

@Exploreeeeeeee @goldencrab @Crazymoments01 Or both of these people felt entitled and poor reactions on both sides?
😮‍💨

@Ravious101 I'm excited about this movie! Whoo! Let's go Jesus! 👏👏 Thank you Mel for making a sequel! 🎊

Salvation is thru Christ alone. Everything we do in word and in deed? We do unto the Glory of God.
Our works are because of our faith and our lives should reflect that.
We should be walking separately from the world and not a part of this world (repentence).
We will fail but Gods grace means that we pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and strive to be more like our Father in heaven and to be refined until His image shines back in us. 🙌

@Islam435 @grok
Show me a list of Christain terroristic acts, then show me a list of Muslim/Islamic terroristic attacks.

[Shayna Simmons @BlessedLilly96]

@grok Do you mind comparing Christanity to Islam?
What are the stark differences and which one offers more freedom to their followers and tolerance of others?

This is how you know the Bible was NOT written by men.

It was written by God through men.

The teenager looks to be keeping the guy from leaning his seat back so that he also has room?
The guy in front has tried to lean back a few times which makes less room for the teenager and the teenager stopped it but he is at fault here? 🤔
Body language looks like the teenager doesn't want the guy to lean back at all and is keeping him from doing so, which i see why, that teenager is lanky and long legged, if the guy leans back, then there is even less room for him.

Guy in front is mad about this and instead of respecting the person behind him he gets an attitude and slams his seat back in response.
And you call that okay?

Most people do not want to stop sinning or living life their way.
That's about it.
Our job is to plant the seed, spread the gospel of Jesus Christ, pray for them, be kind, and the Holy Spirit will convert them.
It's not OUR job to convert. It's our job to plant the seed. ❤️

There is only 1 way to heaven though and it is through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ the Living Son of the Almighty God.

1 John 4:14-15, 18 ESV
[14] And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.
[15] Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
[18] There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.

John 1:12-17 ESV
[12] But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,
[13] who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
[14] And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
[15] (John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’”)
[16] For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.
[17] For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

@flufftopher Even God has borders in heaven. Not everyone gets into heaven.
The foreigner has to obey the laws of the land that they inhabit...guess what that means? If you need paperwork to live here? Then you need paperwork to live here or you will be deported.

@SeanLou15 @AmericaPapaBear Oh no honey. White girl had this in the bag. They both walked away but that white girl won that fight.

[Shayna Simmons @BlessedLilly96]

@Verityy1x The guy was about to take that child. Should have done more.

[Shayna Simmons @BlessedLilly96]

@IronWill2023 The gun was already at the house he went to before the riot. He didn't cross state lines with it. 👍

"She was born without a brain. If you feed her, you're just prolonging the inevitable."

Let that sink in. Doctors actually told this family to starve their newborn baby because she would "die in a few days," and sent them straight to hospice. They completely wrote her off. But instead of listening to the "experts," this family chose to trust God.

And it only took ONE doctor who was willing to give her a chance to change everything.

Look at her now. She is a thriving, happy, beautiful 3-year-old proving the entire medical establishment wrong. This is exactly why we fight the Culture of Death so fiercely. A medical diagnosis is not a death warrant, and a child’s right to life, as well as basic nourishment, should never be decided by a bureaucrat in a white coat.
