Welcome aboard. You can find more discussions (including this one) here:
FAQ: What do I do or say after defending myself?
Also, if you go to Advanced Search, put in "FAQ" in "Search for key words," and select the radio button options for "Search within Topic Titles Only" and "Display Results as... Topic Titles," you might find some more things that interest you.
btw, "Fear for my life" is not mentioned in the Texas statutes as a legal justification (nor is "shoot to stop the threat," for that matter). Legal justification run along the lines of a having a reasonable belief that your use of (deadly) force is immediately necessary to prevent someone else's unlawful use of (deadly) force against you or a third party.
But "fear for my life" is often ends up being quoted in the news articles, even when quoting the police.
Best wishes,
