In Texas the warning shot can be fired directly into the assailant’s forehead.

Gotta love those "No Bills" from Texas' Grand Juries. They do tend to give the benefit of any doubt to anyone who causes great bodily harm or death while in their own home, or on their own property, and the injured or decases person is not of their household.

The reason for the No Bill is often the unstated "He needed killin'".

Warning shots are not recommended in Texas as they may endanger people downrange.

It’s also wasting ammo.

Texas Grand Juries have also been known to do things like take up collections to buy the now-cleared shooter a better or larger caliber gun.

Come on, now. Texans *never* hit anything but what they are aiming at. Surely everyone knows this by now. ;-)
