I watched this video once and then immediately began to answer: NO! I absolutely wouldn't have shot.

But then I watched a second time, this time the complete original video and I changed my mind.

This man came all the way from across the street, unprovoked, and randomly launched into his victims. One victim was struck, began to retreat, fell to the ground and he was chased after and struck again and chased after again.

So there could be two questions:

1) In Texas, would shooting him be justified? - I'd argue yes.
2) Would I have shot him? - I definitely would have if I had the right presence of mind to react quickly enough, especially if I thought me or others were still in danger.

But it seems that in hindsight, this particular situation worked out for the "best" since no one was seriously hurt, shot, or killed. Plus the attacker might be mentally ill.
