So here we have an off-duty officer shooting to death the neighbor's dog in front of their 12-Year-Old. It is my understanding that Texas, like Florida, is the leader in Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground. So would the owner of the dog be justified in going in their home, grabbing their self-defense weapon, and returning fire in a case like this? Seems to be an attack on a person's being and property to murder their dog; who could say the mad man going around the neighborhood shooting the neighbor's pet would stop at just that.
