General Alejo Vladimiro Suárez Trejo was the President of H-Town Tejas for a mere five hours of January 25, 1940. Commander of the non-white forces of the Tejano military, who were segregated from the whites, he was originally a trusted ally of President Bùi Ánh, and assisted him in taking power. When instability broke out, and white (and some non-white) forces supporting the previous, minority-ruled government of Robert Hall, Ánh put Suárez in charge of the units protecting the capital Austin, including Ánh's presidential guard.

Suárez originally served in this position loyally; however, he soon began to think that stability could not be restored without a stronger hand than Ánh's. Seeing himself as this stronger hand, on January 25, 1940, Suárez launched a coup, intending to bring stability to the country, then hand back power to Ánh and his Democratic Solidarity Front. However, before he could even think of beginning, Brigadier General Aurelius Adolf Christensen entered Austin and replaced him. Suárez was dragged out of the Presidential Palace, brutally beaten, and publicly executed.

Suárez is not remembered fondly in Tejas, as his coup gave way to 53 years of brutal, corrupt, fascist rule, and a 12-year period of civil war.
