I don't know how anyone can defend the girl or the father. The girl let the boy in through the back door. The boy was hiding under the bed. If anyone had a least a average IQ the boy would have just spent a night in a jail cell.
As far as your friend's cheating wife, adultery laws still remain in some places, so it doesn't surprise me.
I don't know the situation, but it sounds like it wasn't adultery laws but trespassing laws used here. It sounds like the husband and wife are separated and he's not living at the home, but his name is still on the deed.
I'm sorry to say it, but this guy probably is going to jail. While most fathers would probably say "if I caught some punk in bed with my daughter I would shoot the SOB", that is suppose to be a figure of speech. Unless the kid attacked the father I see no justification for this. Involuntary Manslaughter at a minimum.
You probably don't live in Texas. I do, and I say the guy doesn't even get indicted by the Grand Jury, if it happened as stated in the article. It if turns out the father knew the boy was involved with his daughter, then that's different altogether.

It really depends on what the daughter says what happened
I'm pretty sure she'll fall in line with what her dad wants her to say.
The story says they were arguing, very curious as to what the exchange was about, something tells me the kid was telling the dad that he was the boyfriend
Kid was found at 2am, doesn't mean he came in at 2am. Kid could have been in the bedroom since 9pm.
Regardless, he had consent from a resident, which makes it a lawful entry. Look it up if you don't believe me.
I've tried to look it up, but couldn't find it in the statutes. Maybe I don't know the proper key words to use in my search. Please post the Texas law if you can find it.

If people have a problem with the law, take it up with the Texas legislature
Sec. 30.05. CRIMINAL TRESPASS. (a) A person commits an offense if the person enters or remains on or in property of another, including residential land, agricultural land, a recreational vehicle park, a building, or an aircraft or other vehicle, without effective consent and the person:
(1) had notice that the entry was forbidden; or
(2) received notice to depart but failed to do so.

I'm not so sure about that. I have a feeling the daughter isn't too happy with her dad right now, especially if she had any kind of feelings for the boy. I am sure the boy was telling the father he was her boyfriend or at least knew her and she invited him to the house, but the daughter told her father she didn't know the boy. I'm sure more details with come out soon, but right now all we know is what the police told the newspapers.
Just for the sake of argument, I wonder what would the public say if this was a girl who snuck into boys bead room and got shot by boys father. Would this still be ok?
That's what we need in this country, crazy people with firearms.

Dad's can be overly protective of their children. Dad's tend to lack any compassion, humor, or reason when they believe that their child has been violated.
As young men we tend to be afraid of the girl's dad. Well my generation was anyway. Where I grew up, just about everyone hunted and we worried that dad might hunt us if we crossed the line. It most likely wouldn't have happened, but we had a healthy respect for a father's wrath.
This teen either stupid, arrogant or flat out too ignorant to care, put himself in harms way. He owns that.

He's just BS'ing you. A minor does not have Parental Consent to give this authorization at night to a visitor.
If the Parent Consented to this after hours meeting they would have used the front door with the Fathers knowledge.

No but we do need homeowners who can legally protect their families and homes with firearms.
