Castle doctrine is irrelevant to an altercation on public roads, and you are terrifyingly unfamiliar with Texas law.
TX allows for you to use force as necessary to stop trespassing, but you may not escalate to deadly force unless required.
In addition, the castle doctrine protects your habitation (which precedent indicates as covering a forced entry to or removal from a vehicle), but not "property" as you state. Detached garages and land have been declared as not covered under the law.
