Amend CSSB 917 on page 1, line 14, by adding a new SECTION 2
and renumbering the subsequent section appropriately:
      SECTION 2.  Chapter 38 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is
amended by adding Article 38.39 to read as follows:
      Evidence in an aggregation prosecution with numerous victims.
In trials involving an allegation of a continuing scheme of fraud
or theft alleged to have been committed against a large class of
victims in an aggregate amount or value, it need not be proved by
direct evidence that each alleged victim did not consent or did not
effectively consent to the transaction in question.  It shall be
sufficient if the lack of consent or effective consent to a
particular transaction or transactions is proven by either direct
or circumstantial evidence.
