Life and career
editTreviño was born in Monterrey, Nuevo León, on 2 November 1935. He received a bachelor's degree in law from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), a doctorate in administrative law from the University of Paris (Panthéon-Sorbonne) and completed some postgraduate studies at the University of Rome in Italy.[1]
He taught several law courses at the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education, Autonomous University of Nuevo León and University of Monterrey and held several posts at the federal secretariat of finance, where he worked with future president Miguel de la Madrid.
Treviño was elected to the Chamber of Deputies for Nuevo León's 6th district in 1982.[2] He won the 1985 Nuevo León gubernatorial elections amid serious accusations of fraud, particularly from his conservative opponent, Fernando Canales Clariond. As governor, he built the first line of the Metrorrey mass-transit system in Monterrey and coordinated the state's relief and reconstruction efforts after Hurricane Gilbert.[1]
Treviño died on 29 May 2026, at the age of 90.[3]
