HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Authorities say they are searching for a woman accused of using forged Mexican passports to process fraudulent vehicle registrations.<\/p>\n
Guadalupe Alfaro Gonzalez, 36, also known as “Lupita,” is now wanted on felony charges of forgery and tampering with government records tied to an alleged scheme dating back to mid-2024.<\/p>\n
Investigators say Gonzalez worked at IS Multiservices on Garvin Avenue in northwest Houston, where she allegedly prepared vehicle title and registration documents under false identities.<\/p>\n
Constable Alan Rosen said investigators have identified at least four potential victims so far, but believe there could be more.<\/p>\n
“We want to get her in custody, find out what her scheme was and what’s really going on,” Rosen said. “We may have more victims.”<\/p>\n
Authorities say the passports used in the alleged scheme contained Gonzalez’s photo and the same passport number but were issued under different names, eventually raising red flags when submitted to county offices, including one in southeast Houston.<\/p>\n
Rosen said the motive is unclear.<\/p>\n
“That’s one thing we’re not sure about,” Rosen said, adding the operation may have been driven by profit, or possibly to help people who were unwilling or unable to go through official channels.<\/p>\n
Regardless, Rosen emphasizes the activity is illegal and says his office is working to stop it.<\/p>\n
Gonzalez remains at large, and Rosen believes she may still be in the Houston area.<\/p>\n
“I do,” he said. I don’t even think she knows she’s wanted.”<\/p>\n
On Tuesday night, her photo was being widely circulated. Anyone with information on her whereabouts is urged to call the Precinct 1 Constable’s Office at 713-755-7628.<\/p>\n
