He may yet get off. He wasn't just trying to sneak out the packs of beer - he was daring the owner to do something about it. He dared foolishly. Stealing is one thing, but intimidation while you do it. Well, stupidity has it's own reward.
The laws in Texas are quite "liberal" with the use of deadly force to protect property.
You can for example use deadly force if your neighbors house is being burglarized, this guy was never charged.
This one isn't starting off so well for this guy.

From the OP's link:
The owner of a South Texas convenience store has been charged with murder for allegedly shooting a 39-year-old man who tried to steal beer from his shop, according to CBS affiliate KZTV.
Rodney James Duve was being held Sunday in the Nueces County jail with bond set at $35,000.
