or breaking out my windows and stuff can i shoot them and not go to jail?
 
Dude. No. Seriously.

It's absolutely illegal to shoot at someone for any reason except life-or-death self-defense. Even if you don't intend to kill them.

Well, in most states anyway. Not sure about Texas. :)
 
Let me ask you this. Would you be OK with the police shooting someone for breaking into a car? No of course you wouldn't. If your baby was asleep in the backseat you would be justified in training your weapon on him, but not executing him.
 
No, you are not facing a grave risk of injury or death. You would be unable to successfully use the affirmative defense of justification.
