Officials at the Mexican Consulate General in Houston are named as defendants in a lawsuit where one of them is accused of offering U.S. work permits for $5,000.
The lawsuit, filed in a Harris County court on July 17, alleges that consulate employee Fidencio Navarrete Peralta received $10,000 to provide two U.S. work permits but that the plaintiff and her family never received the promised service nor got their money back.
