Texas law is weird about that. But it's a weird I approve of.

not weird, it’s biblical.
thievery at night, lethal force can be used against, because you’re asleep, you don’t know if they’re armed, and you are dealing with someone with inherent ill intent, which could be murder and theft, or just murder but trying to be disguised as robbery went wrong.
same stuff during the day may not have allowed lethal force unless injury/life was threatened.
