Castle doctrine doesn't apply outside your home and its immediate surroundings (like your fenced-in yard), and it's not clear how it's relevant here.

In texas it is merely your property not the building, and tresspassing is a valid reason.

Nonsense. The castle doctrine only lets you kill trespassers if they are threatening your life.

You the survivor are the only witness however. I suppose Trayvon Martin is old news at this point.

Depends on the state. In Texas using deadly force is permissible to stop crimes like robbery. https://legalclarity.org/in-texas-can-you-shoot-someone-on-y...

And there was a case where it wasn't even the homeowner, it was the neighbor who shot the burgulars
