Laredo, Texas - On Wednesday, the Christmas Day dance presentation at the Casa Blanca Event Center (ballroom) and the after party at the Cassette Bar and Grill with Los Palominos and Ricky Naranjo y Los Gamblers was cancelled by the dance promoters without making any announcements to the public by radio or any other source, according to various disappointed Tejano music fans in the City of Laredo. It was confirmed that Guerra Communications, the operators of La Casa Blanca in Laredo were giving refunds to fans that bought an advance ticket for the Palominos dance.
Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) learned that low dance ticket sales contributed to the decision to cancel the dance at the Casa Blanca. The Z93 FM radio station in Laredo, one of the sponsors kept playing songs from Los Palominos on Christmas Day and no announcement was officially ever made to its listening audience that the dance had been actually cancelled.
According to information from disappointed Tejano music fans in Laredo, at least 150 tickets were sold for the Los Palominos and Ricky Naranjo y Los Gamblers Christmas Day dance sponsored by the local radio Station La Z93 FM, Webb County Commissioner Jesse Gonzalez from Pricint 1 and multiple other sponsors compared to 600 advanced tickets already sold for the Joe Lopez y Grupo Mazz (Mazz de Joe Lopez), PegaPega and Jaime de Anda scheduled (dance/concert) performances at the Casa Blanca Event Center on January 25, 2020.
According to Johnny A. Arreola from Los Palominos, he posted on their official Facebook page on Thursday around 5:00 a.m. that a member of the Guerra family from La Casa Blanca got into an vehicle accident and the dance was postponed to a later date.
Lopez, a registered sex offender and Tejano style singer performed his first gig on December 13 at El Rodeo Disco in Houston after serving more than 11 years in prison for two felony counts of child sexual assault in Texas.
Lopez was released on March 15, 2018, after he completed a nine month sex offender treatment successfully.
He served 11 years and 4 months in prison. Under his parole conditions, Lopez was prohibited from entering Harris County (Houston) where his niece, the victim resides, but the prohibition was lifted by the Texas Parole Board for employment purposes.
El Rodeo Disco is located in Harris County. Lopez was convicted in 2006 for two felony counts of aggravated sexual assault (Lopez was sentenced to 20 years on one count and 8 years in prison on the second count) and one felony count for indecent contact with a child age 13 (sentenced to 4 years in prison) and was sentenced to 32 years in prison. Lopez has served 11 years.
Lopez was convicted for raping his 13-year-old niece Krystal Lopez who had his child.
