PC 36.02 Bribery includes the exception that the benefit is not an "expenditure made and reported in accordance with Chapter 305 of the Texas Government Code."

How has anyone handled that in a jury charge? How have you instructed the jury regarding the applicability and procedures of Chapter 305 such that they can begin to have a clue?

Have a case where the situation has absolutely nothign to do with lobbylists and payments made to legislatures or the like, but I'm struggling with making sure that a proposed charge is sufficient on providing that information such that I don't have some strange appellate issue later.

Any guidance/experience would be greatly appreciated.
