The Cuellar political machine in South Texas is collapsing under the weight of its own corruption.
Congressman Henry Cuellar was indicted in May 2024 for accepting over $600,000 in bribes from a Mexican bank and Azerbaijan’s state-owned oil company.
But the problem extends far beyond the congressman.
According to reporting from NOTUS and statements from local officials, Henry Cuellar’s siblings—Webb County Sheriff Martin Cuellar and former municipal judge Rosie Cuellar—benefited from improper appointments, financial favoritism, and misuse of government staff.
Neither has been charged.

In 2023, the FBI raided the Webb County Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff Cuellar told the press he was not the subject of the investigation. However, multiple officials confirmed that sheriff’s office employees were ordered to perform political work for the Cuellar family during official business hours.
That included campaign fundraising, voter outreach, and logistical support for Cuellar’s re-election efforts.
Public records show staff were reassigned from law enforcement roles to campaign duties, including organizing events.
Some employees were instructed to attend campaign functions while still on the county payroll. The sheriff ignored requests for comment.
The corruption extended to Rosie Cuellar, who in 2022 was appointed to a municipal judgeship in a border town that has no active courthouse.
She never heard a case.
The salary she received for the position has not been disclosed.
NOTUS confirmed that the court has no records, no court calendar, and no physical office. Her appointment existed only on paper—and resulted in compensation funded by taxpayers.
The Cuellars represent the worst of what one-party rule produces in South Texas.
Henry Cuellar has held elected office since 1987.
His wife, Imelda Cuellar, received over $100,000 from “consulting” contracts linked to the same foreign entities that are now central to the federal indictment.
Cuellar’s campaign committee took in $110,000 from ActBlue during a cycle in which the platform was flagged for more than 1,900 suspicious donations, many of which originated from foreign IP addresses.
The Cuellars are not the only ones; they are part of a political structure that rewards loyalty with taxpayer money.
The sheriff’s office is used as a campaign arm. Judgeships are handed out to family members who never show up. Legal shields protect elections, and challengers are blocked before they can get on the ballot.
The only meaningful response has come from Republicans. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has brought over 150 election fraud cases since 2020.
But under current law, Paxton cannot prosecute election crimes without approval from a local district attorney. In Webb County, the DA has refused to authorize any action related to the Cuellar family.
Until that legal barrier is removed, families like the Cuellars will continue to operate without consequences—winning elections, collecting salaries, and evading scrutiny in full view of the public.
