Its perfectly legal to shoot to kill if you life or property are being threatened in Texas (and Florida). Its never legal to shoot to maim. That constitutes torture and you will be subject to severe criminal and civil penalties if you do so.
When you apply for a concealed weapons permit in Florida you are taught this during mandatory classes. If you dont legitimately feel like you are under threat you really have no business shooting anyone in the first place.
