COMES NOW Appellant, James Richard "Rick" Perry (Governor Perry), and pursuant to Tex.R.App.P. 68.10, presents this Motion for Leave to File Supplement to Petition for Discretionary Review, and would respectfully show this Honorable Court the following:

On July 24, 2015, the Third Court of Appeals issued a published opinion, granting reliefon Count II because the statute was unconstitutionally overbroad, TAB 1 at 32-97, but denying relief on Count I on cognizability grounds. Id. at 10-32.

Governor Perry filed his petition for discretionary review on August 18,2015, seeking review only of the court of appeals' opinion regarding cognizability as to *2 Count I. Ten days later, however, the State Prosecuting Attorney filed a petition seeking review on Count II. Governor Perry therefore must raise conditionally as supplemental grounds for review the court of appeals' denial of cognizability as to Count II.

On September 7, 2015, Governor Perry attempted to file what he labeled a cross-petition for discretionary review under Tex.R.App.P. 68.2(b), raising the court ofappeals' denial ofrelief on Count II on cognizability grounds in the event the Court granted review of the State Prosecuting Attorney's petition. On September 8, the Clerk's Office rejected Governor Perry's filing, advising Governor Perry's counsel that the most appropriate manner to proceed is to seek leave to supplement his originally filed petition with the additional, supplemental, and contingent grounds for review.

While undersigned counsel do not believe that the rules require that Governor Perry's petition be supplemented in order to preserve his supplemental, contingent grounds for review, they file this motion in compliance with the Clerk's direction in order to put all the issues before the Court. The supplement to the petition seeks review ofthe court of appeals' opinion regarding cognizability as to Count II if, but only if, this Court grants review ofthe State's petition. Thus, none ofthe grounds presented in the supplement need to be addressed by this Court unless it first determines that the judgment of the court of appeals as to Count II was in error and should be reversed.

PRAYER FOR RELIEF WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Governor Perry respectfully prays that this Court grant leave to file his supplement to petition for discretionary review because "justice requires" that he be permitted to do so. See Tex.R.App.P. 68.10.
