I really don't know how Texas law addresses this. Guy is robbing a restaurant (turns out to be with a toy gun). As he's leaving, a customer blows him away and then everyone hauls ass.

A customer at Ranchito Taqueria shot and killed a man who robbed the restaurant in southwest Houston late Thursday night, according to the Houston Police Department.
Houston police said an armed man in a mask came inside the restaurant, demanding money and wallets from customers. However, as he was leaving, one of those customers shot the suspect.
None of the other people in the restaurant were injured during the incident.
Investigators said the suspect ended up not having a real gun.
"The robbery suspect he came into the store and was wearing masks and gloves," HPD Lt. Wilkens said. "He had a plastic pistol possibly an aero soft or possibly a little BB pistol."
The surveillance video shows the shooting going down. It shows customers, witnesses, and the shooter leaving the scene right after the shooting.
Houston police said they want to talk with all of them.
