MEMORANDUM OPINION

ELSA ALCALA, Justice.

Appellant, Henderson David Phillips, pleaded not guilty to the felony of burglary of a habitation. A jury found him guilty, and the trial court, having found true the enhancement allegation of a prior conviction for burglary of a budding, assessed punishment at 20 years in prison. In three points of error, appellant contends that the evidence is legally insufficient to establish entry into the habitation and that the trial court erred by denying appellant’s requested jury charges on the lesser-included offenses of theft and criminal trespass. We affirm.
