Wisconsin Legislature: 943.14

943.14  Criminal trespass to dwellings. Whoever intentionally enters the dwelling of another without the consent of some person lawfully upon the premises, under circumstances tending to create or provoke a breach of the peace, is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
History: 1977 c. 173.
Criminal trespass to a dwelling is not a lesser included offense of burglary. Raymond v. State, 55 Wis. 2d 482, 198 N.W.2d 351 (1972).
Regardless of any ownership rights in the property, if a person enters a dwelling that is another's residence, without consent, this section is violated. State v. Carls, 186 Wis. 2d 533, 521 N.W.2d 181 (Ct. App. 1994).
Entering an outbuilding accessory to a main house may be a violation. 62 Atty. Gen. 16.

All well and good, except you do not cite any of the laws about tenant/landlord rights. That is exactly why I suggested the OP contact the sheriff department in his location. The OP can explain the situation to the civil section and they can advise him where he stands at this point. On more than one occasion in my 33 1/2 years I have had to regretfully arrest a property owner because they failed to do due diligence under the laws dealing with tenant/landlord and were in fact the person trespassing as they had failed to properly sever the claim of the tenant by law.

Agree with it or not: Here in Texas criminal trespass can be met with a gunshot!

Only by someone looking to go to jail. At best Criminal Trespass is a Class A misdemeanor in Texas. Not a crime justifying the use of deadly force. You might want to read Sec. 30.05. Criminal Trespass statue for Texas.

Well,, if memory serves the last two cases I recall of a homeowner shooting a home invader (criminal trespass) ended in no bills from a grand jury. A cops take on the law rarely jibes with reality.

From the Texas guy that doesn't know Texas Law. Under Texas Law a home invasion would be Burglary, a FELONY. Not Criminal Trespass, a misdemeanor.

Yes, when it comes to law terms do matter.

You're now on ignore. Bluster and jail house lawyering by Googling about a state you don't live in brings to question your knowledge and integrity on any other subject as well. buh bye!
