In answering this I got a little confused since the steps of being "destroyed" and "removed from the table" can be separated by a lot of time, and I got lost hunting down meanings of the word "destroyed" (which are not consistent in the FAQ timing chart vs rules doc). But Tel has his own FAQ, thankfully!

Short answer: yes, Tel's ability triggers during the deal damage step. This is different from "after attacking" effects that would wait until both TLT shots finish. Tel will take letal damage, trigger his ability, and then get hit by the 2nd TLT shot and die for real.
