OPINION
WHITHAM, Justice (Assigned).
Thomas Paul Cyr, an anti-abortion protestor, was arrested when he refused to voluntarily leave Aaron’s Women’s Health Center, a general gynecological clinic and abortion center in Dallas, Texas. The jury convicted Cyr of criminal trespass and assessed his punishment at fourteen days’ confinement and a $500 fine. In two points of error, Cyr challenges the trial court’s exclusion of certain evidence during trial and its refusal to instruct the jury on the defense of necessity. For the reasons set forth below, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
