Bill seeking to modify Texas โcastle doctrineโ causes stir ahead of 2021 legislative session
HOUSTON โ A bill seeking to modify the so-called โcastle doctrineโ in Texas is getting lawmakers riled up ahead of the legislative session that begins next year. The โcastle doctrineโ is outlined in the stateโs penal code. It would also remove robbery and aggravated robbery as crimes that could be legally stopped with deadly force by property owners. The Castle Doctrine will not be reduced. We wonโt force Texas homeowners to retreat.
