And therefore by using 100% of your force if you caught said criminal in the act you would be breaking the law...

Not in Texas.
Nor in "Natural Law".

Of course no one should ever break the LAW.
But what is the definition of LAW.
My definition of LAW is what is written in my avatar, for non members-
Natural Law-Do no harm to another, do not infringe on another's right to Life, Liberty or Property.
That pretty much covers it all.
Actually I believe it is your DUTY to break "color of law" legislation.
I am an equal opportunity "color of law" ; breaker.

First off, they used force, hence they broke the law.
Now, when that is done, the LAW of self defense of others rights or your rights come into play.
So no, the basic tenet is still valid.

If i catch someone in the act of raping another person, whether they are my daughter or not, i can kill them and not go to prison. The key is, can I reasonably be expected to be able to retreat while halting the attack.
If it is on my own property, there is barely even any questions asked.
If you cannot do this in the UK, it is a shame.
as a matter of fact, in Texas you are likely to be shot by someone with a lawful carry, concealed weapon if you are seen trying to rape someone.

Well in that situation, I am sure I saw what I thought was weapon, hence I had to defend myself.
I believed I was in immediate danger of death.
My fellow citizens will judge me, I have no qualms about putting my fate in the hands of a jury of peers.
None whatsoever.
