CPRC CH. 83. USE OF DEADLY FORCE IN DEFENSE OF PERSON
CPRC § 83.001. CIVIL IMMUNITY. A defendant who uses force or
deadly force that is justified under Chapter 9, Penal Code, is immune
from civil liability for personal injury or death that results from the
defendant's use of force or deadly force, as applicable.
Also, you might want to consider a pre-paid legal service like one of these:

Does this "CIVIL IMMUNITY" INCLUDE if you injure or cause death to a Bystander ?
I understand the person that commits the crime can not file Civil suit, but how about a bystander ?
I'm still not clear on it.. The reading above could be "force that is justified" for on the BG ?
