Council staff have discussed the possibility of adding Perry to the no confidence vote scheduled for Councilman Mario Bravo on Thursday, according to a Texas Public Radio report.

Councilman Perry is considered a suspect in a hit-and-run Sunday evening on the city's North Side, according to a KSAT report, citing redacted SAPD records and unnamed law enforcement personnel. For more details, see the Current's report from earlier Tuesday.

According to TPR, Perry has been cited seven times for moving violations between 2008 and 2017. Four of those were for speeding infractions.
