The State presented legally sufficient evidence to sustain the appellant's conviction for unauthorized entry upon a nuisance premises. The State presented evidence that the appellant entered a residence that had been posted with warning signs declaring it a nuisance and ordering people to stay out absent proper written permission to enter. The State's evidence established that the appellant entered the house with knowledge of the signs and without written permission. The trial court did not err in overruling the appellant's request for a jury instruction on the affirmative defense of \necessity.\ The trial court did not err in accepting a jury verdict rendered after approximately 28 minutes of deliberation. Judgment affirmed.
