For the most part, no. If they forcibly entered in the middle of the night,
guns drawn, without announcing or displaying that they were law
enforcement,
yes. But even in Texas you cannot use deadly force unless you can show that
it was needed.

On the other hand, there is a difference between what the LAW says about a
homeowner's actions and what a JURY might say when the homeowner is
charged.
And the homeowner would only need to get one juror in order to get off.
