Glad it turned out well for her, though her actions were foolish and it could have easily gone the other way. Hopefully she'll remember to lock her car next time.
Not sure if Texas has this or not, but in SC, a criminal cannot sue for any damage caused to him or her as a result of their crime. Great law.
He wasn't harmed for any damage caused by himself. The moment he exited the vehicle and started to walk away, he was no longer any threat to her whatsoever. By her own admission she decided to run him over for what she believed he may have done in the future.
At the time of his injury he no longer a threat to her or anyone else.
That's no different than if I choose to run a total stranger down because of something I believe they may do in the future.

“And I told him to get the hell out of my car,” Baker said. “And he said ‘fine.’ He got out and started running and the next thing I thought was if he gets away he can do this to somebody else.”
Baker said she then ran down Martinez with her van as he tried to get away.
