but how much will he have to spend defending himself from civil suits.

Not a penny. Few attorneys in Harris County will even consider taking that kind of case.
Happened in BR about 20 years ago. Man breaks into a woman's house in Old Goodwood and tries to rape her. She pulls her .38 and shoots the guy, paralyzing him from the waist down. She gets sued because the guy, a construction worker, can no longer earn a living in the construction trade (I'm sure after his release from prison). Don't know how the suit turned out, but I'm sure the guy got something just to make the suit go away.

La has a solid castle doctrine law that creates various presumptions in favor of the homeowner, and basically says if someone is forcibly entering the house the homeowner's life is presumed to be threatened.
La also has an excellent law that forbids lawsuits by the perpetrator who is shot or killed by a homeowner. They can sue, but it will get tossed out almost immediately.
