That may be slightly overstated, but use of lethal force to protect one's property is legal in Texas. Very recently somebody in Texas did kill somebody for stealing their truck, using airtags to find to track them down. Legally speaking, somebody showing up at your door with a gun to recover their phone may not be okay. Realistically, the law doesn't act until you're dead.

It’s more than slightly overstated. It’s a total lie.
Showing up at someone’s house and killing someone because they have your phone is always illegal in every US state.
I don’t know why people are trying to defend this. It’s complete misinformation.
Showing up while in real time pursuit is not in Texas. If you followed the thief all the way, the worst you get is a trespassing charge.
