Does Texas have a law about standing your ground against someone trying to stop you?

If so, could the protestors then start shooting the driver in for of self defense?

Even if the law does not exist could the protestors could use self defense to shoot the driver anyway?

You can't stand your ground going something illegal -> a criminal doesn't have the "right" to shoot at police .

The castle doctrine would not apply if you're illegally blocking the road. It applies to your "castle" i.e. your property.
