the increase of alligators has caused more this year. There have been 16 reported fatal alligator attacks on people in Florida since the 1950s, and 15 to 20 non-fatal alligator attacks occur in Florida each year, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). Most alligator attacks on people seem to take place while people are in the water.
When I lived in Florida a little girl living by a man made lake was taken by an alligator. People were feeding it and then forgot about it so it fed itself. When they brought the alligator out, it was about ten feet. Also it was not unusual for dogs to disappear regularly.

From 1948 to August 1, 2004, 376 injuries and 15 deaths have been reported in the United States as a result of encounters with alligators. The number of nuisance calls as well as the alligator population is increasing.

In Texas, It's completely legal to shoot someone if they are on your property (and unwelcome). Many states allow their citizens to legally shoot someone if that person is illegally trespassing. You didn't do anything wrong. Like you said, you have a permit, making the ownership legal. They were on trespassing on YOUR property and your alligator was residing in YOUR house, therefore, it was their own fault that they were attacked. I absolutely cannot think of any reason why you'd get in trouble for that. If the trespassers try to charge you or sue you for injuries, they will fail miserably. Sounds like you've got a great security system going :)
