An offending campaign sign showing Steve Guerra's ties to Mexican cartels' huachicol smuggling of illegal fuel and his team's response: tear down the signs.
By Juan Montoya
After months of denying any link between him and the illegal importation of petroleum products into Mexico, documentation from the Mexican government, the Texas secretary of State, and district court records have linked Brownsville Navigation District chairman Steve Guerra directly to shipments between his Warrior Fuel Traders Limited Liability Corporation (LLC) and Pyrodiesel Del Cento SA de CV, named by the Federal Criminal Intelligence Center of Mexico as a principal in the smuggling of fuel by the Mexican cartels.
Guerra was first elected to the BND board in 2018 and appointed chair in 2022. He was reappointed to the position in May 2024. He is currently a candidate for Cameron County Judge in the Democratic Party primary.
These revelations were first published in Frankie Olivo's Facebook post https://www.facebook.com/FrankieOlivo10/posts/this-is-how-steve-guerra-is-linked-to-huachicol-he-was-buying-diesel-in-the-us-a/1221688939939605/ outlining a debt of Guerra's LLC to non-payment to Key Performance Petroleum Company of Navasota, Texas.
In that lawsuit, Key Performance president Mark Jackson filed an affidavit October 26, 2022 in support of his company's lawsuit demanding payment of an outstanding balance of $333,484.47 and attached copies of 24 invoices totaling shipments of diesel and other petroleum products they had shipped at Warrior Fuel Traders' request over a two-month period in 2020 that had not been paid. Guerra was served the next day, October 27.
In Cause No: 2022-DCL-5154-I plaintiff Key Performance lists a systematic record of transactions that make up the outstanding balance of Warrior Fuel Traders, LLC.
Government investigations revealed that Warrior Fuel Traders/Steve Guerra was in direct business with Pyrodiesel Del Cento SA de CV. Pyrodiesel has been named as a principal in fuel smuggling activities (huachicol) of petroleum by the Federal Criminal Intelligence Center of Mexico. https://es-us.noticias.yahoo.com/huachicoleros-controlaban-puertos-pa%C3%ADs-060000638.html
Invoices to Warrior Fuel Traders from Key Performance indicate the diesel and petroleum products were shipped through Eagle Pass, Texas and delivered to Pyrodiesel. The Warrior Fuel Traders LLC was registered with the Texas Secretary Of State April 13, 2020 and its certification was forfeited June 24, 2022.
"The identification of the modus operandi: First modus operandi, the fuel is purchased in the United States and then imported into Mexico, where it is sold to various companies. These companies are responsible for distributing it through marketing and transportation companies, selling the fuel at a lower price than the one established in the national market.
"To this end, they use cloned gasoline and diesel import declarations to simulate the legal origin of the hydrocarbons, allowing them to legitimize the multiple sales they make," the Federal Center for Criminal Intelligence (FGR) analysis details.

Hot Tub Fun & Relaxation: Decided it was a great day to enjoy getting undressed and crawling into a verboten bubble-filled jacuzzi! Just wished a back-washer would've walked in. Do you like sloping backs. I have an arrogant one, down to my crack. Enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed the hot tub
Guadalajara, semiparalizada tras narcobloqueos: en Jalisco 58 muertos, fuga en penal y Código Rojo
Un día después de la muerte de “El Mencho”, Guadalajara vivió un lunes marcado por el miedo y la incertidumbre: Cerraron comercios, farmacias, gasolinerías, mercados y oficinas; calles semi vacías, y escaso transporte público.
I have seen some political signs that are very questionable and they just look messed up all clumped up together n looking trashy. But that is just me. Follow the policy.
600 dollarts! Why cry when you can win with my vote?
EKKSTACY - i walk this earth all by myself
Ain't he the grandson of the legendary Juan Ene Guerra, the padrino of Matamoros? They had him on the Narcos movie.
Yet another hit piece. I’m no fan of Esteban but weren’t you all complaining some months back that judge Eddie gave Boca Chica beach to Elon? Let’s just vote sheriff Eric in, what could go wrong? Personally, I am going to vote for the ghost of sheriff Lucio.

The wind is destroying the political signs.
Steve and his cronies put those anti-Eddie signs in front of Eddie’s sign. Very classless, Steve I told you face to Face id support you but I’m taking it back bud. I’m going to vote for Eddie. Steve I’ll talk to you in person, you’re going to be disappointed but this classless way of doing things with your pending legal issues makes me question why would we want you as county Judge. I was on board but I’m not about these childish games. When I do reach out to you I hope you can understand my viewpoints and I hope you can respect my decision as a friend and not blackball me as you have to others.
🐀 🐀, I love the rat signs NO TO EDDIE. AKA la rata.. 🤪🐀
All politicians running for county judge are corrupt. But that's typical of democrats. Unfortunately, we live in an area surrounded by ignorance and hate.
I WANT A PIECE OF THE PIE
