Showing up at someone’s house and killing someone because they have your phone is always illegal in every US state.
I don’t know why people are trying to defend this. It’s complete misinformation.
I don’t know about finding somebody and “protecting” your property somewhere else.
There is not a single state in the US where it is legal to shoot someone just for being on your property.

As far as I can see the person who I was replying to is simply making this up.
> In what state is it legal to kill people for stealing your stuff?
In Texas, under certain circumstances, it is legal to kill people for stealing your stuff. This might be very different than the laws in the state that you live in (it certainly is for me in New Jersey) but it is the reality.
As I mentioned it likely wouldn't apply in this case.
As a side note, the Castle Doctrine does apply within one's vehicle. Presumably an argument could be made that if someone stayed within their vehicle while confronting the home owner the Castle Doctrine may apply. Admittedly that is quite a stretch and I have no idea if something like that has ever been tried in Texas courts.
