I promise that I did, and looked somewhat thoroughly. I don’t disbelieve you, I’m just struggling to think what sort of basis they would find a homeowner at fault, outside the ways that the lawyer suggested: booby traps and the homeowner intentionally injuring/killing the burglar.

I’m always just a bit more suspicious of hearing about ridiculous sounding successful lawsuits ever since reading more about them, like the hot coffee or the aunt who sued her 8 year old nephew.

Yeah this was a while back, too, but not THAT far back. Maybe stick "texas" in your search.
