My point was that Texans are protected from legal abuse, not the obligation to render aid.

Sorry, I misunderstood your point.

Texas has the law, but I agree on the risk of blood and disease.

If I am reading your comment correctly, I think you may be misinterpreting the law. It says IF you provide good samaritan aid you have protection from liability. It doesn't say you HAVE TO provide aid.

I would think that you would have a greater chance of liability if you tried to treat some one who just used deadly force against you. I would be more afraid that the BGs family would say you tried to kill him after you shot him.
