In Texas any citizen can enact a citizens arrest if you personally witness a theft, felony or even for legitimate criminal mischeif( which is clearly defined in the penal code). So in effect they could retain them for law enforcement and use whatever level of force is necessary to do so. If they respond with deadly force (trying to run one down with a car) then deadly force is justified in return.
