A guy threatened to shoot my dogs

I'm asuming this took place in texas. Because in Oklahoma if u r hunting with dogs and the dog crosses a onto a neighbor. The dog has the right of way and you have the right to go get the dog. neighbor can say what he wants but any physical threat (shooting, etc.) to you or your dog is on him as long as you keep your cool and the dog is not harming domestic animals (walking past them is not consider harm). my suggestion catch him on a public road or the property you have permission on and let fly just for the threat and hell of it. I have been in a similiar situation. But he wouldnt dare get within reach after the first time i was half way in his truck for threating my dogs.
